[0122] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.
[0123] In the description of this disclosure, it should be understood that the terms “length”, “width”, “thickness”, “top”, “bottom”, “inner”, “outer”, “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right”, etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure.
[0124] To facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions disclosed herein, the terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish identical or similar items with substantially the same function and effect. Those skilled in the art will understand that the terms "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity or execution order, and that the terms "first" and "second" do not necessarily imply that they are different.
[0125] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.
[0126] In this disclosure, "and / or" is merely a way of describing the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist; for example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0127] It should be noted that in this disclosure, the words "in one embodiment," "exemplarily," and "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described in this disclosure as "in one embodiment," "exemplarily," or "for example" should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of the words "in one embodiment," "exemplarily," and "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.
[0128] The related clothing processing devices and cleaning base stations are integrated into a simple, stacked structure, which cannot be adapted to the user's home environment.
[0129] With continuous technological advancements, home appliances with various cleaning functions are emerging, such as robotic vacuum cleaners that sweep and mop, and garment cleaning devices. The individual placement of multiple appliances can make a home feel cramped. Therefore, to improve the utilization of home space, technologies are increasingly integrating appliances with different functions. For example, garment cleaning devices can be stacked on a cleaning base station that works in conjunction with a floor cleaning device. However, simply stacking multiple appliances results in an integrated unit that is too tall, making it prone to swaying and posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, this design may not be suitable for most home décor environments.
[0130] To address the aforementioned problems, this disclosure provides a cleaning device that integrates the cylindrical section and the base station device within the same housing frame, thereby reducing the height of the cleaning device. The cleaning device provided in this disclosure is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. For ease of description, please refer to Figure 2. In this disclosure, the length direction of the cleaning device 100 is defined as the X-axis direction, the depth (or width) direction of the cleaning device 100 is defined as the Y-axis direction, and the height direction of the cleaning device 100 is defined as the Z-axis direction. The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions are mutually perpendicular. This embodiment uses directional terms such as "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "front," and "rear" to describe the cleaning device 100. The orientation is primarily based on the orientation of the cleaning device 100 shown in Figure 2, with "right" facing the positive X-axis, "left" facing the negative X-axis, "front" facing the positive Y-axis, "rear" facing the negative Y-axis, "top" facing the positive Z-axis, and "bottom" facing the negative Z-axis.
[0131] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The cleaning equipment 100 provided in this embodiment includes a housing frame 30, a cylindrical part 20, and a base station device 10, which are disposed within the housing frame 30. It should be noted that the door of the cleaning equipment 100 is not shown in Figures 1 and 2.
[0132] The tubular section 20 provided in this embodiment is part of a garment processing device, and garments to be cleaned can be placed inside the tubular section 20. In some examples, the garment processing device can be provided to perform operations such as washing, rinsing, hot water washing, steam washing, or drying on the garments.
[0133] The following description further illustrates the cleaning equipment 100, primarily using the example of the horizontally placed drum section 20 (which enables the function of a tumbling washing machine).
[0134] The base station device 10 is used to house the floor cleaning device. In some examples, the base station device 10 may be configured to have at least one of the following functions: cleaning the cleaning elements (such as mops, rags, sponges, brushes, etc.) of the floor cleaning device, charging the floor cleaning device, collecting dust in the dust collection box inside the floor cleaning device, and replenishing water to the floor cleaning device.
[0135] Please refer to Figure 3. The base station device 10 is located below the cylindrical part 20. This can be understood as the housing frame 30 having an internal accommodating space 31, in which the base station device 10 and the cylindrical part 20 are both accommodated, and the base station device 10 is located below the cylindrical part 20.
[0136] It should be noted that the cleaning equipment 100 provided in this embodiment can achieve the effect of simultaneously arranging the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10 inside the box without increasing or significantly increasing its height. This can effectively improve the overall stability, reliability and safety of the cleaning equipment 100 while saving the space occupied by the cleaning equipment 100 in the user's home.
[0137] In some examples, as shown in Figure 2, the front door panel 33 is provided with a clothing disposal port 331 and an entry port 332, through which the floor cleaning device can enter the base station device 10; or, in other examples, the entry port 332 may be located on the left side panel 35 or the right side panel 36. The following description mainly uses the example of the entry port 332 being located on the front door panel 33.
[0138] In this embodiment, the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10 can be integrated into the same housing frame 30 to minimize the height of the cleaning equipment 100 and avoid problems such as shaking and incompatibility with the user's home decoration environment that are common in related technologies.
[0139] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 includes a first door hinged to a front door panel 33, which, when closed, at least covers the clothing inlet 331 on the front door panel 33. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the cleaning device 100 includes a first door and a second door, where the first door, when closed, covers the clothing inlet 331 on the front door panel 33, and the second door, when closed, covers the inlet 332 on the front door panel 33.
[0140] In some examples, the second door can move upwards as a whole when it is opened; or, the second door is one of the following: a sliding door, a double door, or a flip-open door.
[0141] It should be noted that when the second door is an upward-opening door, there may be interference between the second door and the first door. In some examples, when the first door is detected to be not closed, in order to avoid the second door from rising and colliding with the first door, the base station device 10 and the clothing handling device are connected for communication. That is, when the first door is detected to be not closed, the second door will not open.
[0142] In addition, the second door can be set to open and close automatically. For example, when the cleaning equipment 100 learns that the ground cleaning device is about to return to the base station device 10, it can control the second door to open automatically.
[0143] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further details the relevant aspects of the shock absorber 40.
[0144] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4, the height of the bottom of the shock absorber 40 can be set to be less than the height of the base station device 10, thereby reducing the height of the cleaning device 100. Figure 4 illustrates that the height of the bottom of the shock absorber 40 is H1, and the height of the base station device 10 is H2, where H1 is less than H2. It should be noted that the height of the bottom of the shock absorber 40 refers to the height of the lowest point of the shock absorber 40 from the bottom surface of the cleaning device 100; the height of the base station device 10 refers to the maximum height of the base station device 10 from the bottom surface of the cleaning device 100.
[0145] In some examples, one end of the shock absorber 40 may be connected to the cylindrical part 20, and the other end of the shock absorber 40 may be connected to the left side plate 35 or the right side plate 36 of the housing frame 30 via a connecting component; or, in other examples, the housing frame 30 may also be provided with an inner frame 310, and the other end of the shock absorber 40 may be connected to the inner frame 310 via a connecting component.
[0146] The above embodiment describes that the height of the bottom of the shock absorber 40 is less than the height of the base station device 10. In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 6. The height of the bottom of the shock absorber 40 can also be set to be greater than the height of the base station device 10, and the difference between the height of the bottom of the shock absorber 40 and the height of the base station device 10 is not greater than a preset value. For example, in some examples, the preset value can be set to a range of 10mm to 30mm.
[0147] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG7, the housing frame 30 further includes a bottom flange 38, a base plate 37 located below the bottom flange 38 and connected to it, and the other end of the shock absorber 40 is connected to the bottom flange 38.
[0148] In some examples, the bottom of both the left side plate 35 and the right side plate 36 are provided with bottom flanges 38, and the shock absorbers 40 connected to the cylindrical part 20 are respectively connected to the bottom flanges 38 on the corresponding sides.
[0149] In some examples, the bottom left flange can be integrally formed on the left side panel 35, and the bottom right flange can be integrally formed on the right side panel 36.
[0150] In some examples, the bottom flange 38 can be fitted to the base plate 37 of the base station device 10 to facilitate a stable connection of the base plate 37 to the housing frame 30.
[0151] In some examples, see Figure 8, the bottom flange 38 includes a strip 381 and a connecting part 382. One side edge of the strip 381 extending along the length direction is connected to the bottom of the left side plate 35 or the right side plate 36, and the other side edge of the strip 381 extending along the length direction is connected to the connecting part 382.
[0152] In some examples, see Figure 8, the connecting part 382 includes two opposing support ears 3821, the two support ears 3821 are arranged opposite each other, the bottom end of the shock absorber 40 is located between the two support ears 3821, the coupling passes through one end of the shock absorber 40 located between the two support ears 3821, and the two ends of the coupling are respectively supported on the two support ears 3821.
[0153] In some examples, the width of the elongated section 381 can be set to 1cm to 5cm.
[0154] In some examples, the height of the support ear 3821 ranges from 20mm to 50mm, for example, the height of the support ear 3821 is 30mm.
[0155] It is worth noting that when the base plate 37 is detachably connected to the housing frame 30, since the bottom end of the shock absorber 40 is connected to the bottom flange 38, when the cleaning equipment 100 is laid down or tilted to remove the base plate 37, it is not necessary to disconnect the connection between the bottom end of the shock absorber 40 and the bottom flange 38. If the base station device 10 is integrated on the base plate 37, that is, the base station device 10 can be removed and pulled down together with the base plate 37, the efficiency of disassembling and installing the base station device 10 can be improved.
[0156] The above embodiment describes the connection between the bottom end of the shock absorber 40 and the bottom flange 38. In other embodiments, the bottom of the shock absorber 40 can be fixed by the shock absorber mounting structure 50. In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9. The shock absorber mounting structure 50 includes a mounting base 51 and the aforementioned base plate 37. That is, the base plate 37 can be understood as part of the shock absorber mounting structure 50. The base plate 37 includes a first plate surface 371 and a second plate surface 372 arranged opposite to each other along the thickness direction. A first clearance hole 373 is provided on the base plate 37, penetrating the first plate surface 371 and the second plate surface 372. The mounting base 51 is detachably connected to the base plate 37 and is connected to the end of the shock absorber 40 away from the cylindrical part 30.
[0157] Regarding the connection between the mounting base 51 and the base plate 37, when installing the mounting base 51 onto the base plate 37, the mounting base 51 is connected to the base plate 37 from the side where the first plate surface 371 is located (i.e., the outside of the cleaning equipment 100). When disassembling the mounting base 51, the connection between the mounting base 51 and the base plate 37 can be released from the side of the first plate surface 371. Adjusting the mounting base 51 allows it to be inserted into the cleaning equipment 100 through the first clearance hole 373 until it is detached from the base plate 37.
[0158] In some embodiments, the mounting base 51 includes a first state and a second state. When the mounting base 51 is in the first state, when the mounting base 51 projects towards the first clearance hole 373, the area corresponding to the projection outside the first clearance hole 373 can be fixed to the base plate 37 by a connector. When the mounting base 51 is in the second state, since the projection of the mounting base 51 towards the first clearance hole 373 falls into the first clearance hole 373, the mounting base 51 can be inserted into the cleaning device 100 through the first clearance hole 373 until it is detached from the base plate 37.
[0159] In some embodiments, the first state of the mounting base 51 is the unfolded state, and the second state of the mounting base 51 is the folded state. Referring to Figure 10, it illustrates the mounting base 51 in the unfolded state, where it can be fixed to the base plate 37. When the connection between the base plate 37 and the mounting base 51 is released, the mounting base 51 can be folded. Referring to Figure 11, it illustrates the mounting base 51 in the folded state, where the projection of the mounting base 51 toward the first clearance hole 373 falls into the first clearance hole 373.
[0160] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 10 and 11. The mounting base 51 includes a fixing part 511, which is located on the side of the base plate 37 opposite to the second plate surface 372. The fixing part 511 is detachably connected to the base plate 37. One end of the shock absorber is connected to the fixing part 511. The fixing part 511 is a foldable plate.
[0161] In some examples, see Figure 11. The fixing part 511 includes a first plate 5111, a second plate 5112, and a third plate 5113. The first plate 5111 and the third plate 5113 are disposed on opposite sides of the second plate 5112. The first plate 5111 and the third plate 5113 are rotatably connected to the second plate 5112. The first plate 5111 and the third plate 5113 are detachably connected to the base plate 37.
[0162] In some embodiments, the mounting base 51 may further include a connecting portion 512, which is connected to the second plate 5112 and inserted into the first clearance hole 373 on the base plate 37. One end of the shock absorber 40 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion 512. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the mounting base 51 may not include the connecting portion 512, and a seat connector may be provided at one end of the shock absorber 40, which is connected to the fixing portion 511.
[0163] The above embodiments describe the unfolded and folded states of the mounting base 51. In other embodiments, the mounting base 51 includes a first state and a second state. Rotating the mounting base 51 can adjust the mounting base 51 from the first state to the second state. It should be noted that when the mounting base 51 is rotated from the first state to the second state, the axis of rotation of the mounting base 51 is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the base plate 37.
[0164] In some embodiments, the mounting base 51 includes a fixing part 511 located on the side of the base plate 37 opposite to the second plate surface 372. The fixing part 511 is detachably connected to the base plate 37. The fixing part 511 can be rotated to adjust the mounting base 51 in the first state to the second state.
[0165] In some examples, see Figure 12, the fixing part 511 can be set as a rectangular plate, the first clearance hole 373 can be set as a rectangular hole, and the shape of the fixing part 511 is the same as the shape of the first clearance hole 373; or, the fixing part 511 and the first clearance hole 373 can both be elliptical or runway shaped.
[0166] In some examples, the shape of the fixing part 511 may be different from the shape of the first clearance hole 373.
[0167] It should be noted that when the fixing part 511 is a rectangular plate and the first clearance hole 373 is a rectangular hole, please refer to Figure 12, which shows the length L1 and width B1 of the first clearance hole 373, and the length L2 and width B2 of the fixing part 511, wherein B2 is less than B1, and L2 is greater than B1 and less than L1.
[0168] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG14, the mounting base 51 further includes a connecting portion 512, which is connected to the fixing portion 511. The connecting portion 512 is inserted into the first clearance hole 373 and is used to connect with the shock absorber 40 of the supporting cylindrical portion 30.
[0169] It should be noted that the above embodiment describes that the mounting base 51 also includes a connecting part 512. In other embodiments, the mounting base 51 may not include the connecting part 512, and a seat connector may be provided at one end of the shock absorber 40, which is connected to the fixing part 511.
[0170] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 512 includes at least one connecting plate 5121. When there are two connecting plates 5121, each connecting plate 5121 is arranged along the width direction of the fixing portion 511, and one end of the shock absorber 40 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 5121.
[0171] In some examples, there is one connecting plate 5121, on which a connecting shaft is fixed. The connecting shaft is inserted into one end of the shock absorber 40 and is rotatably connected to the shock absorber 40.
[0172] In some examples, see Figure 14, there are two connecting plates 5121, which are arranged at intervals relative to each other. One end of the shock absorber 40 is located between the two connecting plates 5121. The coupling passes through the shock absorber 40 and is located at one end between the two connecting plates 5121, with both ends of the coupling supported on the two connecting plates 5121 respectively. The coupling is rotatably connected to the shock absorber 40.
[0173] In some embodiments, there are two connecting plates 5121, which are respectively a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate. The second connecting plate is provided with a threaded hole, and the coupling is a bolt. The coupling is inserted into the hole on the first connecting plate and passes through one end of the shock absorber 40 to be threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the second connecting plate.
[0174] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG17, there are two connecting plates 5121, and the two connecting plates 5121 are respectively connected to the two longitudinal edges of the fixing part 511. The connecting plates 5121 are located in the middle region of the longitudinal edges of the fixing part 511.
[0175] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG17, the fixing part 511 is provided with at least one mounting hole 5114, and a connector passes through the mounting hole 5114 and is inserted into the base plate 37 to install the fixing part 511 on the base plate 37.
[0176] For ease of description below, the part of the box frame 30 excluding the bottom plate 37 will be referred to as the frame body.
[0177] This disclosure provides a disassembly and assembly method, which includes: disconnecting only the base plate 37 from the frame body, or disconnecting only the base plate 37 from both the frame body and the shock absorber 40, so as to remove the base plate 37 and the base station device 10 as a whole from the cleaning equipment 100.
[0178] In some embodiments, only the connection between the base plate 37 and the frame body and the shock absorber 40 is disconnected. Specifically, this includes: disconnecting the mounting base 51 from the bottom surface of the base plate 37 and rotating the mounting base 51 to move the mounting base 51 from the first clearance hole 373 on the base plate 37 in the direction of extending into the cleaning device 100 until it is detached from the base plate 37.
[0179] It should be noted that, regarding the disconnection of the base plate 37 from the frame body and the shock absorber 40, the connection between the base plate 37 and the frame body can be disconnected first, and then the connection between the mounting base 51 and the base plate 37 can be disconnected. Alternatively, the connection between the mounting base 51 and the base plate 37 can be disconnected first, and then the connection between the base plate 37 and the frame body can be disconnected.
[0180] In some embodiments, only the connection between the base plate and the frame body is disconnected, specifically including: the shock absorber 40 is installed on the frame body, and the connection between the base plate 37 and the frame body is disconnected to separate the frame body from the base plate 37.
[0181] It should be noted that when the base station device 10 on the cleaning equipment 100 needs to be removed, the connection between the base station device 10 and the water and electrical circuits of the clothing processing device also needs to be disconnected. The front door panel 33 can be removed or an inspection port can be reserved on the back panel 34 to facilitate the disassembly of the water and electrical circuits.
[0182] Regarding the connection structure between the base station device 10 and the housing frame 30, in other embodiments, a pull-out assembly can be provided on the housing frame 30 of the cleaning equipment 100 to fix the base station device 10 to the pull-out assembly. When the connection between the pipeline and wiring of the base station device 10 and the clothing processing device is disconnected, the base station device 10 can be pulled out under the action of the pull-out assembly, and then the fixed connection between the pull-out assembly and the base station device 10 can be released. Regarding the pulling direction of the pull-out assembly, in some examples, the pulling direction of the pull-out assembly is parallel to the depth direction of the tubular part 20 in the cleaning equipment 100; in another example, the pulling direction of the pull-out assembly is parallel to the height direction of the cleaning equipment 100.
[0183] In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10 is N, where N is 20 to 50 cm.
[0184] Regarding the distance between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10, since the distance between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10 varies at different positions, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the minimum distance between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10 is limited to a range of 20 to 50 cm.
[0185] In some examples, the minimum distance N between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10 can be set to 20-22cm, 22-24cm, 24-26cm, 26-28cm, 30-32cm, 32-34cm, 34-36cm, 36-38cm, or 38-40cm, etc.
[0186] In some examples, see Figure 18. The cylindrical part 20 includes an inner cylinder 21, an outer cylinder 22, a door seal 24, and a counterweight 23. The inner cylinder 21 is disposed inside the outer cylinder 22, the door seal 24 is disposed at the open end of the outer cylinder 22, and the counterweight 23 is disposed on the end face of the outer cylinder 22 at the open end. The minimum distance between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10 is 20 to 50 cm.
[0187] In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10 is N, and the compression stroke of the shock absorber 40 is M, wherein M≤N.
[0188] Regarding the compression stroke of the shock absorber 40, it can be understood as the difference in length between the two states: when the shock absorber 40 is in the support position of the tubular part 20 without any clothing (i.e., the tubular part 20 is in an empty state) and when the shock absorber 40 is at its shortest length. When the tubular part 20 is filled with absorbent clothing, the length of the shock absorber 40 decreases and the tubular part 20 sinks. When the shock absorber body is in its shortest length state, there is still a gap between the tubular part 20 and the base station device 10 along the height direction of the cleaning equipment 100.
[0189] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by limiting the compression stroke M of the shock absorber 40 to no greater than the minimum distance N between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station, the cylindrical part 20 is prevented from colliding with the base station device 10 during descent, thereby improving safety.
[0190] In some embodiments, the shock absorber 40 includes a shock absorber body and a limiting structure formed on the shock absorber body, the limiting structure being used to limit the shock absorber body from continuing to move in the shortening direction.
[0191] In some examples, see Figures 19-20, the shock absorber body includes a first cylindrical part 41 and a second cylindrical part 42, the first cylindrical part 41 being inserted into the second cylindrical part 42 and the two being rotatably connected.
[0192] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the shock absorber 40 includes a shock absorber body and a limiting structure, so as to ensure that the compression stroke of the shock absorber 40 is not greater than the minimum distance between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10.
[0193] Regarding the limiting structure, in one embodiment, please refer to FIG20. A limiting end face 43 is formed inside the second cylindrical part 42. The limiting end face 43 is the limiting structure. The first cylindrical part 41 extends into the second cylindrical part 42 and contacts the limiting end face 43 to limit the first cylindrical part 41 from continuing to move into the second cylindrical part 42.
[0194] Regarding the limiting structure, in another embodiment, please refer to Figures 21-22. A limiting protrusion 44 is formed on the outer peripheral side of the first cylindrical part 41. The limiting protrusion 44 is the limiting structure described above. The first cylindrical part 41 is limited to continue moving into the second cylindrical part 42 by contacting the limiting protrusion 44.
[0195] The base station apparatus 10 provided in the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0196] In some embodiments, referring to FIG23, the base station device 10 includes a support plate 11, a housing structure 12, and functional components 13. The support plate 11 is connected to the housing structure 12, and at least a portion of the functional components 13 are disposed on the outer periphery of the housing structure 12 and supported on the support plate 11. Referring to FIG23, the housing structure 12 has a receiving cavity 124 for accommodating a floor cleaning device and an opening 125 connected to the receiving cavity 124. The opening 125 communicates with the inlet 332 on the front door panel 33 as shown in FIG2.
[0197] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by setting at least some of the functional components 13 on the outer periphery of the silo structure 12, it is possible to avoid the increase in the height of the base station device 10 if the functional components 13 set on the outer periphery of the silo structure 12 are stacked on the silo structure 12. In this way, the height of the base station device 10 can be reduced, which in turn helps to reduce the height of the cleaning equipment 100 including the base station device 10.
[0198] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG23, the support plate 11 is disposed on at least one side of the outer periphery of the silo structure 12.
[0199] In some examples, see Figure 23, a support plate 11 disposed on the housing structure 12 is located close to the bottom of the housing structure 12 along the height direction of the housing structure 12 (i.e., the Z-axis direction in Figure 23) in order to minimize the height of the base station device 10.
[0200] In some examples, the support plate 11 may be integrally formed on the silo structure 12.
[0201] In some examples, referring to Figure 24, the circumferential outer surface of the hopper structure 12 includes a first outer surface 126, a second outer surface 127, and a third outer surface 128. The first outer surface 126 and the third outer surface 128 are arranged opposite each other along the length direction of the opening 125 (i.e., the X-axis direction in Figure 24). The second outer surface 127 connects the first outer surface 126 and the third outer surface 128. At least one of the first outer surface 126, the second outer surface 127, and the third outer surface 128 is provided with a support plate 11. In some embodiments, support plates 11 are provided on the first outer surface 126, the second outer surface 127, and the third outer surface 128 to facilitate the arrangement of more functional components 13 on the outer periphery of the hopper structure 12.
[0202] It should be noted that when the support plate 11 is connected to the outer periphery of the container structure 12, if the base station device 10 is connected to the box frame 30, the support plate 11 on the container structure 12 can be connected to the left side plate 35, right side plate 36, front door plate 33 and rear back plate 34 of the box frame 30. Alternatively, the box frame 30 can also include a bottom plate 37, on which the base station device 10 is supported.
[0203] In some examples, the functional components 13 located on the outer periphery of the silo structure 12 can be all supported on the support plate 11; or, for the functional components 13 located on the outer periphery of the silo structure 12, some can be supported on the support plate 11 and some on the base plate 37; or, the functional components 13 can be supported on both the support plate 11 and the base plate 37.
[0204] For ease of description, the silo structure 12 and the support plate 11 set on the silo structure 12 are referred to as the silo body 14. In some examples, please refer to Figure 26. Along the length direction of the opening 125, i.e. the X-axis direction in Figure 26, the two ends of the bottom plate 37 protrude from the corresponding ends of the silo body 14. Along the depth direction of the receiving cavity 124, i.e. the Y-axis direction in Figure 26, one end of the bottom plate 37 protrudes from the side of the silo body 14 away from the opening 125. Along the depth direction of the receiving cavity 124, i.e. the Y-axis direction in Figure 26, the end of the silo body 14 with the opening 125 protrudes from the end of the bottom plate 37 on the corresponding side.
[0205] The above embodiment describes the connection between the support plate 11 and the outer peripheral side of the housing structure 12. In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 25, the support plate 11 is located below the housing structure 12, that is, the support plate 11 forms the bottom plate 37 of the box frame 30. By setting the support plate 11 to form the bottom plate 37 of the box frame 30, the area of the support plate 11 can be maximized, allowing more functional components 13 to be supported on the support plate 11.
[0206] The following description will take the example of the support plate 11 being set on the outer periphery of the silo structure 12 as an example.
[0207] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG27, at least some functional components 13 include a wastewater pumping component 132 and a clean water supply component 131. The clean water supply component 131 is used to supply clean water to the receiving cavity 124, and the wastewater pumping component 132 is used to pump the wastewater out of the receiving cavity 124.
[0208] In some examples, see Figure 27. The clean water supply assembly 131 includes a clean water tank 1311 and a clean water pump 1312. The clean water pump 1312 is installed on the pipeline connecting the clean water tank 1311 and the chamber structure 12. When the clean water pump 1312 is working, it can pump the clean water in the clean water tank 1311 to the receiving cavity 124 of the chamber structure 12.
[0209] In some examples, a liquid level detection device may be installed in the clean water tank 1311 to detect the amount of water in the clean water tank 1311, thereby facilitating the control device of the cleaning equipment 100 to control the opening and closing status of the water inlet valve.
[0210] It should be noted that the example above mentions that the clean water supply component 131 includes a clean water tank 1311 and a clean water pump 1312. In other examples, the clean water supply component 131 may be configured to include only the clean water pump 1312 and not the clean water tank 1311; or, the clean water supply component 131 may be configured to exclude both the clean water tank 1311 and the clean water pump 1312, and be directly connected to the inlet valve and the tank structure 12 via water pipes. The following description mainly uses the example of the clean water supply component 131 including the clean water tank 1311 and the clean water pump 1312 to further describe the clean water supply component 131.
[0211] In some examples, see Figure 27, the sewage pumping assembly 132 includes a sewage tank 1321 and a sewage pump 1322. The sewage pump 1322 is installed on the pipeline connecting the sewage tank 1321 and the silo structure 12. When the sewage pump 1322 is working, the sewage in the silo structure 12 can be pumped into the sewage tank 1321.
[0212] It should be noted that the sewage tank 1321 is connected to the drain pipe (i.e., the second drain pipe 82 in the following text). A sewage pump 1323 can be installed on the drain pipe. When the sewage pump 1323 is working, it is used to discharge the sewage in the sewage tank 1321 from the drain pipe. Alternatively, the sewage pump 1323 can be omitted from the drain pipe, so that the water in the sewage tank 1321 is discharged through the drain pipe under the action of gravity. Alternatively, the sewage pumping assembly 132 can be set up to include only the sewage pump 1322 and not the sewage tank 1321. The sewage pump 1322 is connected to the drain pipe. When the sewage pump 1322 is working, the sewage in the silo structure 12 is discharged through the drain pipe.
[0213] In some examples, a liquid level detection device may be installed in the sewage tank 1321 to detect the amount of water in the sewage tank 1321 so that the water in the sewage tank 1321 can be discharged in a timely manner.
[0214] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG27, the water supply assembly 131 is disposed on the side of the tank structure 12 away from the opening 125.
[0215] In some examples, see Figure 27, the clean water tank 1311 and the clean water pump 1312 are positioned on the side near the support plate 11 along the length of the opening 125, i.e., the X-axis direction in Figure 27.
[0216] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG27, the sewage pumping assembly 132 is disposed on the side of the tank structure 12 away from the outlet 125.
[0217] In some examples, see Figure 27, the sewage tank 1321 is supported on the support plate 11, and the sewage pump 1322 is mounted on the sewage tank 1321. For example, the sewage pump 1322 can be located on the side of the sewage tank 1321 away from the tank structure 12.
[0218] In some examples, see Figure 28, a support column 1324 is provided at the bottom of the sewage tank 1321. The sewage tank 1321 is supported on the support plate 11 by the support column 1324. That is, the sewage tank 1321 is raised by the support column 1324, so that a sewage pump 1323 connected to the drain pipe can be installed below the sewage tank 1321.
[0219] In some examples, see Figure 28, the support plate 11 is provided with a second clearance hole 111, which is used to avoid the sewage pump 1323.
[0220] In some examples, see Figure 27, where the sewage tank 1321 and the sewage pump 1322 are positioned close to the side of the support plate 11 along the length of the opening 125, i.e., the X-axis direction in Figure 27.
[0221] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG27, the sewage pumping assembly 132 and the clean water supply assembly 131 are distributed sequentially at intervals along the length direction of the opening 125 (i.e., the X-axis direction in FIG27), and the sewage pumping assembly 132 and the clean water supply assembly 131 are close to the opposite ends of the support plate 11.
[0222] Considering the shape characteristics of the cylindrical part 20, please refer to Figure 29. The cylindrical part 20 is cylindrical in shape. When the cylindrical part 20 is placed horizontally, the lowest position of the bottom of the cylindrical part 20 has the lowest height. Please refer to Figure 29. The bottom position of the cylindrical part 20 is roughly circled with a dashed box. The left and right sides of the bottom position of the cylindrical part 20 are relatively high. Therefore, for the relatively high functional component 13, the functional component 13 can be placed below the bottom left or bottom right of the cylindrical part 20 to make full use of the space between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10 and reduce the height of the cleaning equipment 100.
[0223] Considering that the clean water tank 1311 and the sewage tank 1321 are relatively large, the clean water tank 1311 and the sewage tank 1321 can be set at opposite ends of the support plate 11. That is, one of the clean water tank 1311 and the sewage tank 1321 can be set to be located at the lower left side of the bottom of the cylindrical part 20, and the other can be set to be located at the lower right side of the bottom of the cylindrical part 20.
[0224] In addition, since the left and right sides of the bottom of the cylindrical part 20 are relatively high, other functional components 13 can also be installed on the clean water tank 1311 and / or the sewage tank 1321 to make full use of the space between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10.
[0225] In some embodiments, referring to FIG27, at least a portion of the functional components 13 includes a drying component 133 for supplying hot air to the receiving cavity 124 to dry the cleaning elements on the floor cleaning device.
[0226] In some examples, the drying assembly 133 includes a drying fan for blowing hot air into the receiving cavity 124.
[0227] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG27, the drying assembly 133 is disposed on the side of the chamber structure 12 away from the opening 125, and the drying assembly 133 is disposed between the sewage pumping assembly 132 and the clean water supply assembly 131.
[0228] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG27, at least some functional components 13 also include a heating component 134, which is disposed on the pipeline connecting the clean water tank 1311 and the chamber structure 12, and is used to heat the clean water passing through it.
[0229] In some examples, a control valve is provided on the pipeline connecting the clean water tank 1311. The control valve has two outlets, one of which is directly connected to the tank structure 12 via a pipeline, and the other outlet is connected to the heating component 134 via a pipeline. The heating component 134 is connected to the tank structure 12 via a pipeline.
[0230] It should be noted that the above embodiment describes the heating component 134 being installed on the pipeline connecting the clean water tank 1311 and the chamber structure 12. In other embodiments, the heating component 134 may also be installed inside the clean water tank 1311.
[0231] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG27, the heating assembly 134 is located on the side of the chamber structure 12 away from the opening 125.
[0232] In some instances, as shown in Figure 27, the heating assembly 134 is disposed on the side of the wastewater tank 1321 away from the clean water tank 1311 to make full use of the space between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10; or, in other embodiments, the heating assembly 134 may be supported on the clean water tank 1311.
[0233] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 27-28, the base station device 10 further includes a heat dissipation component 135, which is used for heat dissipation of the receiving cavity 124. The heat dissipation component 135 is also a functional component 13 of the base station device 10.
[0234] In some examples, the heat dissipation assembly 135 includes a heat dissipation fan with its air inlet connected to the receiving cavity 124. When the heat dissipation fan is working, it can draw air out of the receiving cavity 124.
[0235] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG27, the heat dissipation assembly 135 is disposed on the top surface of the housing structure 12.
[0236] In some examples, along the length of the opening 125, i.e. the direction of the X-axis in FIG27, the heat dissipation assembly 135 is located near one end of the housing structure 12 to make full use of the space between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10.
[0237] In some examples, see Figure 27, the heat dissipation assembly 135 is positioned on the side opposite to the outlet 125.
[0238] In some examples, the axis of the heat dissipation assembly 135 is vertical, as shown in Figure 27, and the heat dissipation assembly 135 is placed horizontally on the housing structure 12 to reduce the height of the heat dissipation assembly 135.
[0239] The above embodiment describes the heat dissipation component 135 being disposed on the top surface of the compartment structure 12. In other embodiments, the heat dissipation component 135 may also be disposed on the outer periphery of the compartment structure 12. That is, if there is sufficient installation space on the support plate 11, the heat dissipation component 135 may also be disposed on the support plate 11, so that the heat dissipation component 135 is located on the outer periphery of the compartment structure 12.
[0240] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG27, the base station device 10 further includes a dust collection assembly 136. The dust collection assembly 136 is a functional component 13 of the base station device 10. Please refer to FIG27. The dust collection assembly 136 includes a dust collection fan 1361, a dust collection chamber 1362, and a dust chamber door 1363. The dust collection chamber 1362 is connected to the receiving cavity 124 through a pipe. The dust collection fan 1361 is connected to the dust collection chamber 1362. When the dust collection fan 1361 is working, it can generate negative pressure in the dust collection chamber 1362.
[0241] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG27, the dust collection fan 1361 is disposed on one side of the silo structure 12 along the length direction parallel to the opening 125 (i.e., the X-axis direction in FIG27).
[0242] Please refer to Figure 27. The height of the dust collection fan 1361 is greater than the height of the silo structure 12. By setting the dust collection fan 1361 on one side of the silo structure 12, the dust collection fan 1361 can be located below the bottom left or bottom right side of the cylindrical part 20, so as to make full use of the space between the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10 and reduce the height of the cleaning equipment 100.
[0243] In some examples, see Figure 27, the dust collector fan 1361 is positioned near the wastewater tank 1321 relative to the clean water tank 1311.
[0244] In some examples, the axis of the dust collection fan 1361 (i.e., the dashed line L in Figure 27) is set parallel to the axis of the cylindrical part 20; of course, in other examples, please refer to Figure 31, the axis of the dust collection fan 1361 (i.e., the dashed line L in Figure 31) can also be set perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical part 20; or, the axis of the dust collection fan 1361 can be set neither parallel to nor perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical part 20.
[0245] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 27, the dust collection bin 1362 is disposed on the top surface of the bin body structure 12 and is placed horizontally.
[0246] In some examples, the dust collection bin 1362 is located on the side near the opening 125. In this case, a dust bin opening is also provided on the front door panel 33. The dust bin opening is located on the front door panel 33 and above the inlet 332 that is connected to the receiving cavity 124. The dust bin opening corresponds to the dust bin door 1363 on the dust collection bin 1362. The dust bin opening can be connected to the inlet 332, or the dust bin opening and the inlet 332 can be set independently, that is, the dust bin opening and the inlet 332 are not connected.
[0247] In some examples, the length extension direction of the dust collection bin 1362 is parallel to the length extension direction of the opening 125.
[0248] It should be noted that the above embodiment describes the dust collection bin 1362 being disposed on the top surface of the bin body structure 12. In other embodiments, the dust collection bin 1362 may be disposed on one side of the bin body structure 12 along the length direction parallel to the opening 125, and the dust collection bin 1362 may be placed vertically.
[0249] In some examples, the dust collection bin 1362 is placed vertically on the support plate 11 or the base plate 37.
[0250] Since the area on the support plate 11 is limited, in order not to affect the other functional components 13 supported on the support plate 11, when the dust collection bin 1362 is set on one side of the bin structure 12 along the length direction parallel to the opening 125, the dust collection bin 1362 can be set vertically.
[0251] When the dust collection bin 1362 is placed vertically on one side of the bin structure 12 parallel to the length direction of the opening 125, a dust bin opening can be provided on the front door panel 33 to avoid the dust bin door 1363 on the dust collection bin 1362. Alternatively, a dust bin opening can be provided on the left side panel 35 or the right side panel 36. For example, when the dust collection bin 1362 is close to the left side panel 35, a dust bin opening can be provided on the left side panel 35; when the dust collection bin 1362 is close to the right side panel 36, a dust bin opening can be provided on the right side panel 36.
[0252] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG27, the top of the dust collection bin 1362 is provided with a first clearance groove 1366 to avoid the cylindrical part 20, so as to minimize the height of the cylindrical part 20, thereby helping to reduce the height of the cleaning equipment 100.
[0253] Please refer to Figure 18. The cylindrical section 20 includes an inner cylinder 21, an outer cylinder 22, a door seal 24, and a counterweight 23. The counterweight 23 is disposed on the end face of the outer cylinder 22 where the opening is located. Depending on the shape and size of the counterweight 23 and the position of the dust collection bin 1362, a first clearance groove 1366 can be provided to only clear the outer cylinder 22, or only clear the counterweight 23, or clear both the outer cylinder 22 and the counterweight 23.
[0254] In some examples, the first clearance groove 1366 is a contoured structure to match the shape of the cylindrical part 20.
[0255] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG30, the base station device 10 further includes a cleaning fluid supply assembly 137. The cleaning fluid supply assembly 137 is a functional component 13 of the base station device 10. The cleaning fluid supply assembly 137 includes a cleaning fluid box 1371 and a cleaning fluid pump 1372. The cleaning fluid pump 1372 is disposed on the pipeline connecting the cleaning fluid box 1371 and the clean water tank 1311. When the cleaning fluid pump 1372 is working, it can pump the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid box 1371 into the clean water tank 1311.
[0256] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG30, a dust collection chamber 1364 and a cleaning liquid chamber 1365 are formed in the dust collection bin 1362. The dust collection chamber 1364 and the cleaning liquid chamber 1365 are independently arranged, that is, the dust collection chamber 1364 and the cleaning liquid chamber 1365 are not connected. The cleaning liquid box 1371 is disposed in the cleaning liquid chamber 1365. The dust collection chamber 1364 is connected to the dust collection fan 1361.
[0257] In some examples, the dust chamber door 1363 can cover both the dust collection chamber 1364 and the cleaning fluid chamber 1365 simultaneously; or, in other examples, the dust collection chamber 1364 can be covered by the dust chamber door 1363, while the dust collection chamber 1364 can be covered by other doors.
[0258] In some embodiments, the cleaning fluid pump 1372 is supported on the wastewater pumping assembly 132, as shown in Figure 27, which illustrates the cleaning fluid pump 1372 being supported on the wastewater tank 1321.
[0259] In some examples, a connecting plate 1325 is formed on the sewage tank 1321, the connecting plate 1325 is located on the side of the sewage tank 1321 away from the dust collector fan 1361, and the cleaning liquid pump 1372 is supported on the connecting plate 1325.
[0260] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG27, the base station device 10 further includes a first high-voltage controller 138 and a first low-voltage controller 139, which are electrically connected. Both the first high-voltage controller 138 and the first low-voltage controller 139 belong to the functional component 13.
[0261] In some embodiments, the first high-voltage controller 138 is supported on the water supply assembly 131. Please refer to Figure 27, which shows the first high-voltage controller 138 supported on the water tank 1311.
[0262] In some examples, see Figure 27, the first high-voltage controller 138 is positioned on the clean water tank 1311 away from the drying assembly 133. See Figure 27, the first high-voltage controller 138 is vertically positioned to make full use of the space between the hopper structure 12 and the drum section 20.
[0263] In some examples, the first high-voltage controller 138 is detachably connected to the clean water tank 1311.
[0264] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the first high-voltage controller 138 may not be installed on the clean water tank 1311, but the first low-voltage controller 139 may be installed on the clean water tank 1311 instead.
[0265] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG27, the first low-voltage controller 139 is disposed on the side of the silo structure 12 away from the opening 125.
[0266] In some examples, see Figure 27, the first low-voltage controller 139 is located on the side of the drying assembly 133 away from the chamber structure 12. Since the volume of the drying assembly 133 is smaller than that of the clean water tank 1311 and the wastewater tank 1321, the first low-voltage controller 139 can be located on the side of the drying assembly 133 away from the chamber structure 12.
[0267] In some examples, see Figure 27, the first low-voltage controller 139 is placed vertically to reduce its occupancy on the upper surface area of the support plate 11.
[0268] It is worth noting that in other embodiments, the first low-voltage controller 139 may not be located on the side of the drying assembly 133 away from the chamber structure 12, but the first high-voltage controller 138 may be located on the side of the drying assembly 133 away from the chamber structure 12.
[0269] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, at most one functional component 13 is directly supported on the housing structure 12. For example, when the base station device 10 includes a dust collection chamber 1362 arranged horizontally on the top surface of the housing structure 12 and does not include the heat dissipation component 135, the other functional components 13, except for the dust collection chamber 1362, are arranged on the outer periphery of the housing structure 12.
[0270] In some embodiments, only one functional component 13 and a portion of another functional component 13 are directly supported on the housing structure 12. For example, when the base station device 10 includes a dust collection chamber 1362 horizontally disposed on the top surface of the housing structure 12 and a heat dissipation component 135, in addition to the dust collection chamber 1362 and the heat dissipation component 135, the other functional components 13 are disposed on the outer periphery of the housing structure 12.
[0271] The shape of the bottom plate 37 is further defined below in conjunction with the silo structure 12.
[0272] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 32 and 33, the chamber structure 12 includes a chamber cover 121, a cleaning tray 122, and a ramp 123. The chamber cover 121 covers the cleaning tray 122 and the ramp 123, and the chamber cover 121, the cleaning tray 122, and the ramp 123 form a receiving cavity 124. As shown in Figure 32, an opening 125 is formed between the chamber cover 121 and the ramp 123, allowing the floor cleaning device to move along the ramp 123 into the receiving cavity 124 through the opening 125 until it is supported on the cleaning tray 122.
[0273] In some examples, the hood 121 is equipped with a flip door to cover the opening 125, in which case it is not necessary to have a door on the front door panel 33 to cover the entrance 332.
[0274] In some examples, a support plate 11 is provided on the circumferential side of the hood 121, and the hood 121 is connected to the base plate 37 through the support plate 11.
[0275] In some examples, see Figure 33, the cleaning disc 122 is provided with a scraper 1221. When the ground cleaning device is supported on the cleaning disc 122, the cleaning element of the ground cleaning device is located directly above the scraper 1221. When the cleaning element rotates, the scraper 1221 can clean the cleaning element.
[0276] In some embodiments, the cleaning tray 122 is disposed on the side of the ramp plate 123 opposite to the opening 125, that is, the ramp plate 123 and the cleaning tray 122 are arranged sequentially along the depth direction of the receiving cavity 124, and the cleaning tray 122 and the ramp plate 123 are respectively supported on the base plate 37. In other embodiments, please refer to FIG33, the ramp plate 123 includes a support base portion 1231 and a ramp portion 1232, the support base portion 1231 is disposed on the side of the ramp portion 1232 opposite to the opening 125, and the cleaning tray 122 is supported on the support base portion 1231.
[0277] In some examples, the support base 1231 and the ramp 1232 are two separate components, that is, they are not connected to each other. Alternatively, in other examples, the support base 1231 and the ramp 1232 may be connected.
[0278] In some examples, the support base 1231 and the climbing part 1232 can be detachably connected, for example, they can be plugged in or snapped together. Alternatively, the support base 1231 and the climbing part 1232 can be non-detachably connected, for example, they can be integrally formed.
[0279] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG31, a second clearance groove 1211 for avoiding the shock absorber 40 is provided on the cover 121 of the hopper structure 12.
[0280] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to achieve the connection between the shock absorber 40 and the base plate 37 or the bottom flange 38 to minimize the height of the cleaning equipment 100, it is also necessary to consider whether there is interference between the shock absorber 40 and the hopper structure 12. For example, a second clearance groove 1211 for the shock absorber 40 can be provided on the hopper cover 121.
[0281] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG36, the base plate 37 includes a downwardly recessed area 374, and the cleaning tray 122 and the ramp plate 123 are located in the recessed area 374.
[0282] Please refer to Figure 36, which shows the recessed area 374 and the front edge 375 of the base plate 37. The recessed area 374 extends to the front edge 375; the ramp plate 123 extends forward and protrudes from the front edge 375 of the base plate 37.
[0283] In some examples, the bottom of the cleaning device 100 is provided with an adjustment foot, and the depth of the recessed area 374 is less than the height of the adjustment foot, that is, when the cleaning device 100 is supported on the ground, the recessed area 374 does not contact the ground.
[0284] With a fixed height of the receiving cavity 124, by setting a downward recessed area 374 on the base plate 37 and setting the cleaning plate 122 and the ramp plate 123 in the recessed area 374, it is convenient for the ground cleaning device to move to the receiving cavity 124, and it is also beneficial to reduce the height of the hood 121, thereby reducing the height of the cleaning equipment 100.
[0285] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG36, a protrusion 376 for improving the strength of the base plate 37 is provided on the recessed area 374, and the height of the protrusion 376 is less than the depth of the recessed area 374.
[0286] In some examples, the protrusion 376 protrudes upward to a height of less than 10 mm.
[0287] In some examples, the width of the protrusion 376 is 10mm to 50mm.
[0288] In some examples, the spacing between two adjacent protrusions 376 is 10mm to 50mm.
[0289] In some examples, the distance between the protrusions 376 can be adjusted according to the weight supported by each area on the base plate 37. For example, if the weight supported by a corresponding area on the base plate 37 is relatively large, the protrusions 376 in that area can be set to be more densely distributed; if the weight supported by a corresponding area on the base plate 37 is relatively small, the protrusions 376 in that area can be set to be more sparsely distributed.
[0290] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 39, the base plate 37 has protrusions 376 in areas other than the recessed area 374. It is worth noting that the base plate 37 shown in FIG. 36 has a first clearance hole 373 that mates with the mounting base 51, while FIG. 39 shows another example of a base plate 37, which can be disposed below and connected to the bottom flange 38.
[0291] In some embodiments, a groove may be provided on the ramp plate 123, and the ramp plate 123 may be fixed to the base plate 37 by inserting the protrusion 376 into the groove.
[0292] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG33, the ramp plate 123 is provided with connecting ears 1233. The two connecting ears 1233 are arranged opposite each other along the distribution direction perpendicular to the support base portion 1231 and the ramp portion 1232 (i.e., the X-axis direction in FIG33), and the two connecting ears 1233 are arranged away from the cleaning tray 122. The connecting ears 1233 are used to connect with the hopper cover 121. For example, the connecting ears 1233 can be configured to snap-fit with the hopper cover 121.
[0293] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG33, the support plate 11 includes a first support plate portion 112 and a second support plate portion 113. The first support plate portion 112 is connected to the outer peripheral side of the cover 121, and the second support plate portion 113 is connected to the first support plate portion 112. As shown in FIG34, the height of the second support plate portion 113 is greater than the height of the first support plate portion 112. The first support plate portion 112 is located above the recessed area 374, while the second support plate portion 113 is supported on the non-recessed area of the bottom plate 37.
[0294] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 36 and 37, the front edge 375 of the recessed area 374 is provided with an inwardly folded edge 377. It should be noted that the thickness of the base plate 37 at the folded edge 377 is still less than the depth of the recessed area 374. In some examples, the height of the folded edge 377 is less than the height of the protrusion 376.
[0295] In some examples, the folded edge 377 and the recessed area 374 can be integrally formed, or the folded edge 377 and the recessed area 374 can be welded together.
[0296] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 36, a first opening 378 is provided on the recessed area 374; referring to Figure 31, the hood 121 includes a hood body 1212 and a cover plate 1213. A second opening 1214 is provided on the hood body 1212, located directly above the first opening 378. The cover plate 1213 covers the second opening 1214 and is detachably connected to the hood body 1212. When the cleaning equipment 100 is in transport, the ramp plate 123 can be removed from the base plate 37 and the cover plate 1213 can be removed from the hood body 1212. Support members such as foam are inserted into the first opening 378 and the second opening 1214 to support the cylindrical part 20.
[0297] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 36 and 39, the base plate 37 further includes a left side region 379 and a right side region 3710. The left side region 379 and the right side region 3710 are located on both sides of the recessed area 374, and both the left side region 379 and the right side region 3710 are adjacent to the recessed area 374.
[0298] In some examples, see Figure 39, protrusions 376 are provided on both the left side region 379 and the right side region 3710 of the base plate.
[0299] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 36 and 39, the base plate 37 further includes a rear region 3711, which is located on the side of the recessed area 374 away from the front edge 375, and the rear region 3711 connects the left region 379 and the right region 3710 of the base plate.
[0300] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 39, an upwardly folding connecting flap 3712 is provided on the front side of the left side region 379 of the base plate; an upwardly folding connecting flap 3712 is also provided on the front side of the right side region 3710 of the base plate.

[0303] In one embodiment, the base plate 37 is a single piece; in other embodiments, the base plate 37 can be formed by splicing two or more plates together. For example, each part of the plate can be spliced together by connecting it to the cover 121.
[0304] In one embodiment, the length of the base plate 37 along the X direction in Figure 36 ranges from 510mm to 550mm, for example, the length of the base plate 37 along the X direction in Figure 36 can be set to 546mm.
[0305] In one embodiment, the width of the base plate 37 along the Y direction in Figure 36 ranges from 580mm to 595mm. For example, the width of the base plate 37 along the Y direction in Figure 36 can be set to 590mm.
[0306] In view of the protection of the functional components 13 on the base station device 10, the cleaning equipment 100 also includes the base station housing. The base station housing will be introduced in the following section.
[0307] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a base station housing disposed between the cylindrical portion 20 and the base station device 10. By providing the base station housing, water on components such as the cylindrical portion 2 can be prevented from falling into the base station device 10, thus protecting the functional components 13 on the base station device 10, especially those components 13 whose performance is affected by water.
[0308] In one embodiment, the base station housing is disposed above or covers at least one of the functional components 13.
[0309] In one embodiment, the functional components are connected to the housing frame 30 and / or to the base station device 10.
[0310] In one embodiment, the base station housing is a contour-following structure.
[0311] In one embodiment, the base station housing protects two or more functional components 13, and the areas on the base station housing that mate with the functional components 13 are respectively adapted to the shape of the corresponding functional components 13.
[0312] For example, the base station housing protects two functional components 13, and the two functional components 13 can be referred to as the first functional component and the second functional component, respectively. The first functional component and the second functional component correspond to the first area and the second area of the base station housing, respectively. When the height of the highest position of the first functional component is greater than the height of the highest position of the second functional component, the height of the highest position of the first area is greater than the height of the highest position of the second area.
[0313] In one embodiment, there is one base station housing that protects one or more functional components 13; in another embodiment, there are two or more base station housings that protect different functional components 13.
[0314] The following section provides a detailed description of the water inlet, drainage, and automatic dispensing of cleaning fluid in the cleaning equipment 100.
[0315] Please refer to Figure 40. The water inlet assembly 70 provided in this embodiment includes a primary water control element 71, a secondary water control element 72, a base station water supply pipeline 73, and a clothing water supply pipeline 74.
[0316] Please refer to Figure 40. The primary water control element 71 includes a first inlet 711 and two or more first outlets 712. The secondary water control element 72 includes a second inlet 721 and two or more second outlets 722. The second inlet 721 of the secondary water control element 72 is connected to a first outlet 712 through a pipe (the middle pipe 75 in Figure 40). The first inlet 711 is used to connect to an external water source.
[0317] In some examples, the primary water control element 71 includes two, three, or four first water outlets 712, etc.; the secondary water control element 72 includes two, three, or four second water outlets 722, etc.
[0318] In some examples, the primary water control element 71 can be a solenoid valve, a water distributor, or a water distribution device, etc.
[0319] In some examples, the secondary water control element 72 can be a solenoid valve, a water distributor, or a water distribution device, etc.
[0320] In some examples, the primary water control element 71 is a controllable solenoid valve with one inlet and four outlets, and the secondary water control element 72 is a controllable solenoid valve with one inlet and two outlets.
[0321] In this embodiment, the base station water supply pipeline 73 can be connected to the first water outlet 712, or the base station water supply pipeline 73 can be connected to the second water outlet 722. The base station water supply pipeline 73 is connected to the base station device 10, and the base station device 10 can be supplied with the required water through the base station water supply pipeline 73.
[0322] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the clothing water supply pipe 74 is connected to the first water outlet 712 and / or the second water outlet 722, and the clothing water supply pipe 74 is connected to the tubular part 20, so that the required water can be supplied to the tubular part 20 through the clothing water supply pipe 74.
[0323] In some examples, the base station water supply pipe 73 is connected to the first water outlet 712, and the clothing water supply pipe 74 is connected to the second water outlet 722. For example, please refer to Figure 40. When the base station water supply pipe 73 is connected to the first water outlet 712, if the primary water control element 71 includes two first water outlets 712, since the two first water outlets 712 of the primary water control element 71 are connected to the base station water supply pipe 73 and the secondary water control element 72 respectively, the clothing water supply pipe 74 is connected to each of the second water outlets 722 of the secondary water control element 72.
[0324] In some examples, the base station water supply pipe 73 is connected to the first water outlet 712, and the clothing water supply pipe 74 is partially connected to the second water outlet 722 and partially connected to the first water outlet 712. For example, please refer to Figure 41. When the base station water supply pipe 73 is connected to the first water outlet 712, if the primary water control element 71 includes more than three first water outlets 712, then the clothing water supply pipe 74 is connected to each of the second water outlets 722 of the secondary water control element 72 and the remaining first water outlets 712 on the primary water control element 71.
[0325] In some examples, the base station water supply pipe 73 is connected to the second water outlet 722, and the clothing water supply pipe 74 is partially connected to the second water outlet 722 and partially connected to the first water outlet 712. For example, please refer to Figure 42. When the base station water supply pipe 73 is connected to the second water outlet 722, the primary water control element 71 will have at least one remaining first water outlet 712, the secondary water control element 72 will have at least one remaining second water outlet 722, and the clothing water supply pipe 74 will be connected to the remaining first water outlet 712 and the remaining second water outlet 722.
[0326] In some examples, the base station water supply pipe 73 is connected to the second water outlet 722, and the clothing water supply pipe 74 is connected to the first water outlet 712. That is to say, the clothing water supply pipe 74 is connected to the first water outlet 712. In this case, the primary water control element 71 can be set to include two, three, four, five, or so on, the number of first water outlets 712.
[0327] It is worth noting that the above embodiment describes the water inlet assembly 70 as including a primary water control element 71 and a secondary water control element 72. In other embodiments, the number of water control elements can also be increased. For example, the water inlet assembly 70 can be configured to include a primary water control element 71, a secondary water control element 72, and a tertiary water control element, with the tertiary water control element connected to the secondary water control element 72.
[0328] It is worth noting that the above embodiments describe the water inlet assembly 70 as including a primary water control element 71 and a secondary water control element 72. In some embodiments, the number of primary water control elements 71 may be one, and the number of secondary water control elements 72 may be two or more, with each secondary water control element 72 connected to the primary water control element 71. For example, if the number of primary water control elements 71 is one and the number of secondary water control elements 72 is two, and if the primary water control element 71 includes two first water outlets 712, the base station water supply pipe 73 and the clothing water supply pipe 74 are both connected to the second water outlet 722.
[0329] It is worth noting that the base station water supply pipeline 73 usually includes one water supply pipe, which is connected to the first outlet 712 or the second outlet 722. Of course, if the base station water supply pipeline 73 includes two or more water supply pipes in some scenarios, each water supply pipe can be connected to the first outlet 712 or the second outlet 722 respectively.
[0330] When the base station water supply pipeline 73 is connected to the first outlet 712, the first inlet 711 of the first-level water control element 71 can be connected to the base station water supply pipeline 73 by controlling the first-level water control element 71. At this time, clean water can be provided to the base station device 10 through the base station water supply pipeline 73. When the base station water supply pipeline 73 is connected to the second outlet 722, it is necessary to control both the first-level water control element 71 and the second-level water control element 72 simultaneously to connect the first inlet 711 of the first-level water control element 71 to the base station water supply pipeline 73. Similarly, for the water supply inside the clothing water supply pipeline 74, the first-level water control element 71 and the second-level water control element 72 can be controlled as needed.
[0331] In some embodiments, the primary water control element 71 is located near the top of the rear panel 114 and near the left side panel 112.
[0332] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG43, the clothing water supply pipeline 74 includes a first water supply pipe 741 and a second water supply pipe 742, and the water inlet assembly 70 includes a cleaning liquid dispensing device 76. A mixing inlet 761 and a venturi inlet 762 are formed on the cleaning liquid dispensing device 76. The first water supply pipe 741 is connected to the mixing inlet 761, and the second water supply pipe 742 is connected to the venturi inlet 762.
[0333] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a first water supply pipe 741 may be connected to a first water outlet 712 or a second water outlet 722, and a second water supply pipe 742 may be connected to a first water outlet 712 or a second water outlet 722.
[0334] In some examples, see Figure 43, the first water supply pipe 741 is connected to a first outlet 712 of the secondary water control element 72, and the second water supply pipe 742 is connected to another outlet of the secondary water control element 72.
[0335] In some examples, the primary water control element 71 is a controllable solenoid valve with one inlet and four outlets, and the secondary water control element 72 is a controllable solenoid valve with one inlet and two outlets. The first water supply pipe 741 and the second water supply pipe 742 are respectively connected to the outlet of the secondary water control element 72.
[0336] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG44, the clothing water supply pipeline 74 includes a third water supply pipe 743, which is connected to the first water outlet 712 or the second water outlet 722. The third water supply pipe 743 is used to connect to the condensate inlet 611 of the drying device 60 in the tubular section 20.
[0337] In some examples, the drying device 60 includes a rotary dehumidifier, a circulating fan, a regenerating fan, and a condenser 61, etc. The third water supply pipe 743 provided in this embodiment is connected to the condensate inlet 611 of the condenser 61, and the water outlet of the condenser 61 is connected to the drain pipe of the cylindrical part.
[0338] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG45, the clothing water supply pipeline 74 includes a fourth water supply pipe 744, which is connected to the first water outlet 712 or the second water outlet 722. The fourth water supply pipe 744 is used to connect to the filter cleaning water inlet 621 in the tubular part 20.
[0339] A drying duct connects the drying device 60 to the cylindrical section 20. A filter screen is installed in a section of the drying duct. This section with the filter screen is referred to as the first drying duct section 62, as shown in Figure 45. A filter screen cleaning inlet 621 is provided on the drying duct. The fourth water supply pipe 744 is connected to the filter screen cleaning inlet 621. When clean water passes through the filter screen, it can rinse the filter screen. The rinsed water flows into the cylindrical section 20 and is finally discharged through the drain pipe connected to the cylindrical section 20.
[0340] In some embodiments, the base station water supply pipe 73 is directly connected to the compartment structure 12 of the base station device 10, that is, the clean water entering the base station water supply pipe 73 flows to the cleaning tray 122 of the base station device 10 under the action of gravity; or, in other embodiments, the base station water supply pipe 73 is connected to the clean water tank 1311, that is, the clean water entering the base station water supply pipe 73 can flow to the clean water tank 1311 under the action of gravity, and the water in the clean water tank 1311 can flow to the cleaning tray 122.
[0341] The automatic deployment device 76 provided in the embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0342] In some embodiments, referring to FIG46, the cleaning fluid dispensing device 76 includes a dispensing box 763 and a dispensing pump 764. The dispensing box 763 is movably (e.g., slidingly) disposed on the front door panel 33, allowing the user to remove the dispensing box 763 in a manner similar to pulling out a drawer and dispensing the cleaning fluid.
[0343] In some examples, the cleaning fluid dispensing device 76 can only supply cleaning fluid to the cartridge section 20; or, in other examples, the cleaning fluid dispensing device 76 can supply cleaning fluid not only to the cartridge section 20 but also to the base station device 10. The following description mainly focuses on the example of the cleaning fluid dispensing device 76 being able to supply cleaning fluid not only to the cartridge section 20 but also to the base station device 10.
[0344] In some examples, the dispensing box 763 is used to contain a first cleaning solution and a second cleaning solution; the dispensing pump 764 is used to dispense the first cleaning solution into the cartridge section 20, and also to dispense the second cleaning solution into the base station device 10.
[0345] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG47, the dispensing box 763 includes a first chamber 7631 and a second chamber 7632. The first chamber 7631 is used to contain a first cleaning liquid, and the second chamber 7632 is used to contain a second cleaning liquid. The first suction port of the dispensing pump 764 is connected to the first chamber 7631, and the first discharge port of the dispensing pump 764 is connected to the cartridge section 20. The second suction port of the dispensing pump 764 is connected to the second chamber 7632, and the second discharge port of the dispensing pump 764 is connected to the base station device 10.
[0346] In some examples, the dispensing pump 764 can be selectively dispensed with either a first cleaning solution or a second cleaning solution by controlling its forward or reverse rotation. In some embodiments, the dispensing pump 764 may be, for example, a peristaltic pump.
[0347] In some examples, the dispensing cartridge 763 also includes a third chamber for containing fabric softener, disinfectant, or other additives. That is, the dispensing cartridge 763 may include three, four, or more chambers to meet different usage needs.
[0348] In some examples, see Figure 48, the cleaning solution dispensing device 76 also includes a first dispensing pipe 765. One end of the first dispensing pipe 765 is connected to the second outlet of the dispensing pump 764, and the other end is connected to the clean water tank 1311. By setting the first dispensing pipe 765, the second cleaning solution can be first dispensed into the clean water tank 1311, achieving thorough pre-mixing of the cleaning solution and the cleaning water, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect.
[0349] It should be noted that, as mentioned in one of the embodiments above, the base station device 10 also includes a cleaning fluid supply component 137. When the cleaning device 100 includes a cleaning fluid dispensing device 76, the cleaning fluid supply component 137 can be omitted, that is, the base station device 10 is configured not to include the cleaning fluid supply component 137, or; the cleaning fluid dispensing device 76 can also be configured to only supply cleaning fluid to the cartridge section 20 and not to the base station device 10; or, the base station device 10 can be configured to include not only the cleaning fluid supply component 137, but also the cleaning fluid dispensing device 76, which can simultaneously supply cleaning fluid to the cartridge section 20 and the base station device 10.
[0350] In some examples, as shown in Figure 46, the cleaning solution dispensing device 76 further includes a mixing box 766. The mixing box 766 is connected to the first outlet of the dispensing pump 764, the inlet of the mixing box 766 is connected to the laundry water supply pipe 74 (e.g., the first water supply pipe 741), and the outlet of the mixing box 766 is connected to the cartridge section 20. By adding the mixing box 766, the first cleaning solution and water can be pre-mixed thoroughly before being dispensed into the cartridge section 20, which helps to improve the cleaning effect.
[0351] In some examples, see Figure 46, the dispensing box 763 is located inside the mixing box 766.
[0352] In some examples, see Figure 46, the cleaning solution dispensing device 76 also includes a venturi tube 767, the inlet of which is connected to the laundry water supply line 74 (e.g., the second water supply line 742), the outlet of which is connected to the tubing section 20, and the suction port of which is connected to the first discharge port of the dispensing pump 764.
[0353] With the above settings, a portion of the cleaning solution can be mixed with water in the mixing box 766 and then dispensed into the cartridge section 20. Another portion of the cleaning solution can be drawn into the tube by the venturi tube 767, mixed thoroughly with water to form bubble water, and then dispensed into the cartridge section 20, achieving the technical effect of "mousse wash" and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0354] In some examples, the suction port of the Venturi tube 767 is connected to the mixing box 766 and positioned near the first outlet of the dosing pump 764. With this configuration, the Venturi tube 767 can be directly mounted on the mixing box 766, forming an integrated structure.
[0355] In some examples, the dispensing pump 764 includes a first pump and a second pump, wherein the first pump is used to dispense a first cleaning solution and the second pump is used to dispense a second cleaning solution. That is, different cleaning solutions can be dispensed separately by setting up dual pumps. In some embodiments, the second pump may be located on the base station device 10, for example, fixedly mounted on the clean water tank 1311.
[0356] In some examples, the first chamber 7631 and the second chamber 7632 are fixed and arranged horizontally or side-by-side within the dispensing box 763, which is removably mounted on the front door panel 33 of the cleaning device (i.e., "one box for two compartments"). Alternatively, the dispensing box 763 includes a first box and a second box removably mounted on the front door panel 33 of the cleaning device, which are separately arranged, with the first chamber 7631 located in the first box and the second chamber 7632 located in the second box (i.e., "one box for one compartment", with a total of two boxes).
[0357] In some embodiments, the first box is disposed on the upper part of the front door panel 33, for example, on the upper left of the tubular portion 20; and the second box is disposed on the lower part of the front door panel 33, for example, on the lower left of the tubular portion 20.
[0358] In some embodiments, the first box and the second box are not limited to being pull-out only on the front door panel 33. For example, the first box can be pulled out on the front door panel 33, and the second box can be pulled out on the left side panel 35 or the right side panel 36.
[0359] In some examples, the first and / or second cleaning solutions are contained in a reservoir bottle, which is removably housed within a dispensing box 763. The user can pull out the dispensing box 763, and the reservoir bottle will follow, allowing the user to replace the reservoir bottle or refill it with cleaning solution. This design improves the user experience and prevents mistaken assumptions.
[0360] The drainage component 80 provided in the embodiments of this disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0361] In some embodiments, the drainage assembly 80 includes a drainage pipe and a drainage pump 84, with at least one drainage pump 84 disposed on the drainage pipe. Referring to FIG49, the drainage pipe includes a first drainage pipe 81, a second drainage pipe 82, and a connecting joint 83. The first drainage pipe 81 and the second drainage pipe 82 are respectively used to connect to the cylindrical part 20 and the base station device 10; the connecting joint 83 includes at least two water inlets and at least one water outlet, and the first drainage pipe 81 and the second drainage pipe 82 are respectively connected to the corresponding water inlets.
[0362] The first drain pipe 81 is connected to the tubular section 20, and the washing wastewater inside the tubular section 20 can be discharged outside the tubular section 20 through the first drain pipe 81. In some examples, the base station device 10 includes a wastewater pumping assembly 132, and the second drain pipe 82 is connected to the wastewater pumping assembly 132. For example, the wastewater pumping assembly 132 includes a wastewater tank 1321 and a wastewater pump 1322, and the second drain pipe 82 is connected to the wastewater tank 1321. Alternatively, in other examples, the second drain pipe 82 is directly connected to the compartment structure 12 of the base station device 10. The draining assembly 80 will be further described below mainly using the example of the base station device 10 including a wastewater tank 1321 and a wastewater pump 1322.
[0363] In some examples, the connector 83 includes two inlets and one outlet, i.e., the connector 83 is a T-junction structure; or, in other examples, the connector 83 may be configured to include three inlets and one outlet, with the first drain pipe 81 and the second drain pipe 82 respectively connected to the two inlets, and the additional inlet (which may be called the third inlet) may be used to connect to other pipes other than the cleaning equipment 100, or the third inlet may be blocked when it is not needed.
[0364] In some examples, see Figure 49, the drainage assembly 80 also includes a main drain pipe 85, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the connector 83, and the other end of which is used to connect to an indoor drain pipe or a floor drain.
[0365] It should be noted that the example above describes that the drainage component 80 also includes a main sewage pipe 85. In other examples, the drainage component 80 may not include the main sewage pipe 85, and can be directly connected to the indoor sewage pipe or floor drain through the connection joint 83.
[0366] The above embodiments describe that there is at least one drain pump 84. In some embodiments, the number of drain pumps 84 may be one.
[0367] In some examples, see Figure 50, the drainage assembly 80 also includes a main drain pipe 85, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the connector 83, and a drainage pump 84 is mounted on the main drain pipe 85. When it is necessary to discharge the washing wastewater in the tubular section 20 and / or the cleaning wastewater in the wastewater tank, the drainage pump 84 is activated to pump the wastewater out of the cleaning equipment 100.
[0368] In some examples, see Figure 51, a drain pump 84 can be installed on the first drain pipe 81. When it is necessary to discharge the washing wastewater in the tubular section 20, the drain pump 84 is started to draw the washing wastewater in the tubular section 20 out of the tubular section 20. By setting the direction of the second drain pipe 82, the clean wastewater in the wastewater tank can be discharged through the second drain pipe 82 under the action of gravity.
[0369] In some examples, when there is only one drain pump 84, a check valve can be installed on the first drain pipe 81 and the second drain pipe 82 to prevent sewage backflow.
[0370] In some embodiments, there are at least two drain pumps 84, including at least one drain pump 84 disposed on the first drain pipe 81 and at least one drain pump 84 disposed on the second drain pipe 82 (i.e., the sewage pump 1323 described above).
[0371] In some examples, there are two drain pumps 84, which may be referred to as the first drain pump 841 and the second drain pump 842, respectively. The first drain pump 841 is installed on the first drain pipe 81, and the second drain pump 842 is installed on the second drain pipe 82.
[0372] It should be noted that the location of the second drainage pump 842, which is the sewage pump 1323 described above, within the housing frame 30 has been stated above and will not be repeated here.
[0373] In some examples, the number of drainage pumps 84 can be more than three, and more than two drainage pumps 84 can be set on the first drainage pipe 81, and / or more than two drainage pumps 84 can be set on the second drainage pipe 82.
[0374] In some examples, the power of the second drain pump 842 is set to be less than that of the first drain pump 841.
[0375] Please refer to Figure 53, which illustrates that both the first drain pipe 81 and the second drain pipe 82 are connected to a drain pump 84. When it is necessary to drain the clean wastewater from the wastewater tank, if the drain pump 84 is activated, the clean wastewater may flow through the first drain pipe 81 into the cylindrical section 20. However, in this embodiment, since the first drain pipe 81 and the second drain pipe 82 are respectively equipped with drain pumps 84, it is beneficial to minimize the flow of water from the wastewater tank into the cylindrical section 20 and minimize the flow of water from the cylindrical section 20 into the wastewater tank.
[0376] In some embodiments, the first drain pipe 81 and the second drain pipe 82 are located inside the cleaning device 100, and one end of the main drain pipe 85 passes through the back panel 34 through a pipe through hole on the back panel 34; or, in other embodiments, the first drain pipe 81 and the second drain pipe 82 exit the back panel 34 through the same pipe through hole on the back panel 34, or the first drain pipe 81 and the second drain pipe 82 exit the back panel 34 through different pipe through holes on the back panel 34.
[0377] When the first drain pipe 81 and the second drain pipe 82 are located inside the cleaning device 100, in some examples, the connector 83 can be fixed to the inner side of the back panel 34, or the connector 83 can be fixed to the inner side of the left side panel 35 or the right side panel 36.
[0378] When the first drain pipe 81 and the second drain pipe 82 pass through the back panel 34, in some examples, the connecting joint 83 can be fixed to the outer side of the back panel 34; or, the connecting joint 83 can be set independently of the back panel 34, that is, the connecting joint 83 is not connected to the back panel 34.
[0379] Regarding the independent setting of the connecting connector 83 and the back panel 34, in some examples, the connecting connector 83 can be fixed to a fixed object such as a wall, or the connecting connector 83 can be directly matched with the floor drain.
[0380] In some embodiments, see Figures 54-55, the first drain pipe 81 includes a first pipe section 811 arranged in conjunction with the back panel 34, from away from the connector 83 to near the connector 83, the first pipe section 811 including an upwardly extending first rising section 8111 for forming a water seal structure.
[0381] After the drainage of the cylinder section 20 is completed, some sewage can be accumulated in the first rising section 8111. This sewage can play a sealing role, preventing the odor in the indoor sewage pipe or floor drain from returning to the cylinder section 20 through the first drain pipe 81 (that is, it can play a role in preventing backflow of odor), thus avoiding adverse effects on the user's experience.
[0382] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first rising section 8111 is set to be attached to the back panel 34. In other embodiments, the first rising section 8111 may not be attached to the back panel 34. That is, as long as the first drain pipe 81 includes the upwardly extending first rising section 8111 for forming a water seal structure, the first rising section 8111 may be designed to be suspended.
[0383] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG54, the first pipe segment 811 includes only the first rising section 8111, that is, the direction of the first pipe segment 811 from away from the connecting joint 83 to near the connecting joint 83 is upward; or, in other embodiments, as shown in FIG55 and FIG57, the first pipe segment 811 includes the first rising section 8111, the first connecting section 8112 and the first falling section 8113, the first connecting section 8112 connects the first rising section 8111 and the first falling section 8113, the first rising section 8111 extends upward and the first falling section 8113 extends downward in the direction from away from the connecting joint 83 to near the connecting joint 83.
[0384] It is worth noting that the above embodiment describes the first pipe section 811 as including a first rising section 8111, a first connecting section 8112, and a first descending section 8113. In other embodiments, the first pipe section 811 may also be configured not to include the first descending section 8113, that is, the first pipe section 811 may only include the first rising section 8111 and the first connecting section 8112.
[0385] The drain pump 84 connected to the first drain pipe 81 is the first drain pump 841. In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 56. The difference H1 between the height of the first connecting section 8112 and the height of the first drain pump 841 ranges from 3cm to 80cm, for example, 5cm to 70cm, 10cm to 75cm, 15cm to 65cm, 10cm to 55cm, 8cm to 60cm, 20cm to 50cm, etc.
[0386] The drain pump 84 connected to the first drain pipe 81 is the first drain pump 841. When the first pipe section 811 includes a first rising section 8111, a first connecting section 8112 and a first descending section 8113, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 56, the difference H2 between the height of the first connecting section 8112 and the height of the connecting joint 83 ranges from 3cm to 60cm, for example, 5cm to 55cm, 10cm to 48cm, 15cm to 40cm, 10cm to 45cm, 8cm to 32cm, 20cm to 38cm, etc.
[0387] It should be noted that the height of the first connecting section 8112 refers to the height of the highest point on the first connecting section 8112.
[0388] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 54-55, the second drain pipe 82 includes a second pipe section 821 arranged in conjunction with the back panel 34, extending from away from the connector 83 to near the connector 83. The second pipe section 821 includes an upwardly extending second riser section 8211 for forming a water seal structure.
[0389] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the second rising section 8211 is set to be attached to the back panel 34. In other embodiments, the second rising section 8211 may not be attached to the back panel 34. That is, as long as the second drain pipe 82 includes the upwardly extending second rising section 8211 for forming a water seal structure, for example, the second rising section 8211 may be designed to be suspended.
[0390] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG54, the second pipe segment 821 includes only the second rising section 8211, that is, the direction of the second pipe segment 821 from away from the connecting joint 83 to near the connecting joint 83 is upward; or, in other embodiments, as shown in FIG55, the second pipe segment 821 includes the second rising section 8211, the second connecting section 8212 and the second falling section 8213, the second connecting section 8212 connects the second rising section 8211 and the second falling section 8213, the second rising section 8211 extends upward and the second falling section 8213 extends downward in the direction from away from the connecting joint 83 to near the connecting joint 83.
[0391] It is worth noting that the above embodiment describes the second pipe section 821 as including the second rising section 8211, the second connecting section 8212, and the second falling section 8213. In other embodiments, please refer to FIG57, the second pipe section 821 may also be configured not to include the second falling section 8213, that is, the second pipe section 821 includes the second rising section 8211 and the second connecting section 8212.
[0392] The drainage pump 84 connected to the second drainage pipe 82 is the second drainage pump 842. In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 55. The difference h1 between the height of the second connecting section 8212 and the height of the second drainage pump 842 ranges from 3cm to 80cm, for example, 5cm to 70cm, 10cm to 75cm, 15cm to 65cm, 10cm to 55cm, 8cm to 60cm, 20cm to 50cm, etc.
[0393] The drainage pump 84 connected to the second drainage pipe 82 is the second drainage pump 842. When the second pipe section 821 includes the second rising section 8211, the second connecting section 8212, and the second falling section 8213, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 55, the difference h2 between the height of the second connecting section 8212 and the height of the connecting joint 83 ranges from 3cm to 60cm, for example, 5cm to 55cm, 10cm to 48cm, 15cm to 40cm, 10cm to 45cm, 8cm to 32cm, 20cm to 38cm, etc.
[0394] It should be noted that the height of the second connecting section 8212 refers to the height of the highest point on the second connecting section 8212.
[0395] In some embodiments, the height of the first connection segment 8112 is greater than the height of the second connection segment 8212; or, the height of the first connection segment 8112 is equal to the height of the second connection segment 8212; or, the height of the first connection segment 8112 is less than the height of the second connection segment 8212.
[0396] It should be noted that, considering that the pressure output capacity of the drainage pump 84 connected to the second drainage pipe 82 is less than that of the drainage pump 84 connected to the first drainage pipe 81, in order to facilitate the discharge of clean sewage from the sewage tank, in some embodiments, the height of the first connecting section 8112 is designed to be greater than the height of the second connecting section 8212.
[0397] In some embodiments, along the width direction of the back panel 34 (i.e., the X direction in FIG54), the first pipe segment 811 and the second pipe segment 821 are located on the same side of the connecting joint 83. Please refer to FIG54-FIG57. The connecting joint 83 fixed on the back panel 34 is located to the left of the first pipe segment 811 and the second pipe segment 821.
[0398] In some embodiments, only the first drain pipe 81 and the second drain pipe 82 include an upwardly extending section for forming a water seal structure; that is, the second drain pipe 82 does not include an upwardly extending section for forming a water seal structure. After the sewage tank of the base station device 10 has finished draining, the second drain pipe 82 will not contain water, or even if it contains some sewage, it will not serve as a seal. Please refer to Figure 58, which illustrates that the first drain pipe 81 includes a first rising section 8111, but does not show that the second drain pipe 82 includes a second rising section 8211.
[0399] It should be noted that, regarding Figure 58, it can be understood that the first drain pipe 81 and the second drain pipe 82 respectively pass through the back panel 34, and the connecting joint 83 is located on the outside of the box frame 30. Figure 58 shows that the connecting joint 83 is set independently of the back panel 34, that is, the connecting joint 83 is not fixed to the back panel 34. Of course, the connecting joint 83 can also be fixed to the back panel 34.
[0400] It should be noted that, for the example in which only the first drain pipe 81 and the second drain pipe 82 include an upwardly extending section for forming a water seal structure, the connecting joint 83 can also be fixed on the inner side of the back panel 34, and the main drain pipe 85 passes through the back panel 34.
[0401] In some embodiments, the main drain pipe 85 connected to the connector 83 is a flexible hose, which facilitates the adjustment of the position and allows the main drain pipe 85 to be connected to the indoor drain pipe or floor drain.
[0402] Please refer to Figure 55. Since the connecting joint 83 has a certain height and the main drain pipe 85 is a flexible hose, the middle area of the main drain pipe 85 sinks down to form a "U shape". Since the pressure output capacity of the drain pump 84 connected to the second drain pipe 82 is small, it may cause the water in the sewage tank to be unable to be discharged. Therefore, in some scenarios, when it is necessary to discharge the sewage in the sewage tank, the upper drain pump 84 connected to the first drain pipe 81 and the drain pump 84 connected to the second drain pipe 82 can be controlled to work simultaneously so that the clean sewage in the sewage tank can be discharged smoothly.
[0403] In some examples, in addition to the conventional steps of controlling the cleaning equipment to perform washing and dispensing cleaning solution, the control method also includes the following step: in response to a received incorrect cleaning solution dispensing instruction, controlling a speaker or touchscreen to send an incorrect dispensing reminder message to the user. Here, the incorrect cleaning solution dispensing instruction is determined by the detection result of a detection element, including a refractive index detection element. In some embodiments, different cleaning solutions have different refractive indices; when it is determined that the refractive index of the cleaning solution in the current chamber is outside a reasonable range, an incorrect cleaning solution dispensing can be determined.
[0404] In some embodiments, the control method further includes the following steps: in response to a drying command from the cleaning module of the ground cleaning device, controlling the drying device 60 to deliver drying air to the base station device 10 to achieve a drying effect on the cleaning module.
[0405] In some examples, the control method further includes the following steps: in response to a hot water wash request command for the cleaning module, controlling the water control element to supply water to the cylinder section 20 via the first water supply pipe 741, and simultaneously controlling the first heating device to heat the hot water in the cylinder section 20. Once the hot water in the cylinder section 20 reaches a predetermined temperature or has been heated for a preset duration, controlling the valve body to open so that the hot water in the cylinder section 20 enters the base station device 10 through the pipeline.
[0406] Next, the structure of the first drainage pump 841 connected to the tubular section 20 and the clothing control device 130 in the clothing handling device will be mainly described.
[0407] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG59, the clothing control device 130 includes a second power controller 1301, which is disposed near the first power controller 138 of the base station device 10 for connection purposes.
[0408] In some embodiments, the second high-voltage controller 1301 is located near the rear panel 34 and the right side panel 36 of the enclosure frame 30. Please refer to Figure 59, which shows the left side panel 35 of the enclosure frame 30. The second high-voltage controller 1301 is positioned away from the left side panel 35.
[0409] In some examples, the second power controller 1301 is detachably connected to the first power controller 138 via a terminal block.
[0410] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the overall disassembly of the base plate 37 and the base station device 10, in some examples, the second power controller 1301 can be fixed to at least one of the rear back plate 34, the right side plate 36 and the internal frame 310.
[0411] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG59, the first drain pump 841 connected to the cylinder section 20 is disposed in front of the second high-voltage controller 1301, that is, the first drain pump 841 is disposed near the front door panel 33 and the right side panel 36.
[0412] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the overall disassembly of the base plate 37 and the base station device 10, in some examples, the first drainage pump 841 can be fixed to at least one of the front door panel 33, the right side panel 36 and the internal frame 310.
[0413] In some examples, a drain pump access port is provided on the front door panel 33, which is directly opposite the first drain pump 841.
[0414] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG59, the clothing control device 130 further includes a third high-voltage controller 1302, which is located inside the housing frame 30 and near the top of the housing frame 30.
[0415] In some examples, see Figure 59, the third high-voltage controller 1302 is positioned near the front door panel 33 and above the first drain pump 841. This embodiment of the present disclosure can be understood as follows: considering the potential space constraints, the high-voltage controller of the clothing control device 130 can be divided into two parts, that is, the clothing control device 130 includes a second high-voltage controller 1301 and a third high-voltage controller 1302.
[0416] In some embodiments, referring to FIG60, the cleaning device 100 further includes a clothing handling door 140, which is hinged to the front door panel 33 and is used to cover the clothing delivery port 331 on the front door panel 33.
[0417] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG60, the clothing control device 130 further includes a second low-voltage controller 1303, which is disposed inside the clothing processing door 140. The connection line of the third high-voltage controller 1302 can be connected to the second low-voltage controller 1303 through one of the door hinges 150.
[0418] In some examples, see Figure 60, there are two door hinges 150, which can be designated as a first door hinge 1501 and a second door hinge 1502, respectively. The first door hinge 1501 is positioned above the second door hinge 1502. The connection cable to the third high-voltage controller 1302 can be connected to the second low-voltage controller 1303 via the first door hinge 1501. The connection cable to the first low-voltage controller 139 in the base station device 10 runs along the internal frame 310 and can be connected to the second low-voltage controller 1303 via the second door hinge 1502.
[0419] In some instances, the connecting wires connected to the first low-voltage controller 139 and the connecting wires connected to the second low-voltage controller 1303 are detachably connected via terminal blocks.
[0420] As described in the above embodiments, the cleaning equipment 100 includes a housing frame 30, which includes a front door panel 33, a rear panel 34, a left side panel 35, and a right side panel 36. The structure of the housing frame 30 is described below.
[0421] In some embodiments, the back panel 34, the left side panel 35, and the right side panel 36 may be configured as an integral structure.
[0422] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 62, an access port 341 is provided on the rear panel 34. Please refer to FIG. 61, the housing frame 30 also includes a maintenance plate 39, which is detachably connected to the rear panel 34 and covers part or all of the access port 341.
[0423] The interior of the housing frame 30 forms a receiving space 31, including a first space region 311 for accommodating the cylindrical part 20 and a second space region 312 for accommodating the base station device 10. At least one of the first space region 311 and the second space region 312 communicates with the access port 341. Specifically, the access port 341 can be positioned directly opposite the first space region 311 to facilitate maintenance of components related to the garment processing device; alternatively, the access port 341 can be positioned directly opposite the second space region 312 to facilitate maintenance of components related to the base station device 10; or, the access port 341 can be positioned opposite both the first space region 311 and the second space region 312.
[0424] It is worth noting that, for the maintenance plate 39 covering the inspection port 341, the maintenance plate 39 can be configured to completely cover the inspection port 341, or the maintenance plate 39 can be configured to partially cover the inspection port 341.
[0425] It is worth noting that when an inspection port 341 is provided on the rear panel 34, it may affect the layout of the drainage component 80 on the rear panel 34. Therefore, the drainage component 80 described in the above embodiment is more suitable for the case where no inspection port 341 is provided on the rear panel 34; or, the first drainage pipe 81, the second drainage pipe 82 and the connecting joint 83 can be reasonably arranged to bypass the maintenance plate 39 as much as possible.
[0426] The drum motor is located on the back side of the drum section 20. In some examples, the size of the inspection port 341 is such that the drum motor can be observed through the inspection port 341, allowing for maintenance of the drum motor through the inspection port 341. It is worth noting that, in addition to the drum motor, other components in the garment handling device can also be maintained through the inspection port 341.
[0427] In some examples, the size of the inspection port 341 needs to be set reasonably so that while it is possible to inspect and maintain some components in the clothing processing device and the base station device 10, the size of the inspection port 341 should be minimized to avoid affecting the strength of the back panel 34.
[0428] In some embodiments, the repair plate 39 and the back plate 34 are galvanized sheets.
[0429] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG63, the inspection port 341 includes a first inspection hole 3411 and a second inspection hole 3412. The first inspection hole 3411 is disposed above the second inspection hole 3412. The first inspection hole 3411 and the second inspection hole 3412 are respectively used for inspecting the cylinder motor and the base station device 10. The first inspection hole 3411 and the second inspection hole 3412 are connected or independent of each other.
[0430] In some examples, the first access hole 3411 and the second access hole 3412 may be configured to be either not connected or connected.
[0431] In some examples, see Figure 63, the access port 341 also includes an intermediate connecting portion 3413, through which the first access hole portion 3411 and the second access hole portion 3412 are connected. See Figure 63, where the first access hole portion 3411 and the second access hole portion 3412 are roughly outlined with dashed boxes.
[0432] In some embodiments, the minimum length of the second access hole portion 3412 along the width direction of the rear panel 34 is not less than the maximum length of the first access hole portion 3411 along the width direction of the rear panel 34. Referring to Figure 63, the minimum length d of the second access hole portion 3412 along the width direction of the rear panel 34 and the maximum length D of the first access hole portion 3411 along the width direction of the rear panel 34 are illustrated. d can be set to be equal to D, or d can be set to be greater than D.
[0433] In some examples, the first access hole 3411 includes an arc-shaped edge, the diameter of which can be set to be close to the diameter of the cylinder motor.
[0434] In some examples, the second access hole 3412 is designed to fit the size of the base station device 10, as shown in Figure 63. The second access hole 3412 may be rectangular, approximately rectangular, or runway-shaped.
[0435] In some embodiments, the repair panel 39 is a one-piece molded panel; or, in other embodiments, the repair panel 39 includes two or more separate panels, each of which is arranged sequentially along the height direction of the box frame 30.
[0436] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 63, a pipe perforation 342 that mates with a drain pipe is provided near the bottom of the rear panel 34.
[0437] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG64, the cleaning device 100 further includes a transport support 90, and there is one or more transport supports 90. The transport supports 90 are supported on the housing frame 30 and are detachably connected to the housing frame 30. Please refer to FIG64, which shows that the transport support 90 passes through the cylindrical part 20, that is, the transport support 90 is detachably inserted into the cylindrical part 20, and the transport support 90 passes through the first spatial region 311 of the housing frame 30.
[0438] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is necessary to transport the cleaning equipment 100, the transport support 90 is installed on the box frame 30 and passes through the cylindrical part 20. Since the transport support 90 is supported on the box frame 30, it has a limiting effect on the cylindrical part 20 relative to the box frame 30. The transport support 90 is detachably connected to the box frame 30, so that when it is not necessary to transport the cleaning equipment 100, the transport support 90 can be removed from the box frame 30.
[0439] In some embodiments, the housing frame 30 includes an inner frame 310, a first plate portion and a second plate portion, the first plate portion and the second plate portion being disposed opposite each other on both sides of the inner frame 310, and one end of the transport support member 90 passing through the first plate portion and being fixedly connected to the second plate portion.
[0440] For example, in some examples, one of the first plate portion and the second plate portion is a left side plate 35 located on the left side of the inner frame 310, and the other is a right side plate 36 located on the right side of the inner frame 310. For example, in some examples, one of the first plate portion and the second plate portion is a rear back plate 34 located at the rear of the inner frame 310, and the other is a transverse reinforcing plate 311 located at the front of the inner frame 310, as illustrated in Figure 64. The following description primarily uses the example of a transport support 90 supported on the transverse reinforcing plate 311 and the rear back plate 34 for further explanation.
[0441] In some embodiments, the left side panel 35, the back panel 34, and the right side panel 36 of the housing frame 30 are separate structures, that is, the left side panel 35, the back panel 34, and the right side panel 36 are detachably connected to the inner frame 310 by connectors; or, in other examples, the left side panel 35, the back panel 34, and the right side panel 36 can be set as an integral structure.
[0442] In some embodiments, the transport support 90 is a screw, and the transverse reinforcing plate 311 is provided with a threaded hole, through which the transport support 90 passes and is threadedly connected to the transverse reinforcing plate 311.
[0443] It is worth noting that the above embodiment describes the threaded connection between the transport support 90 and the transverse reinforcing plate 311. In other embodiments, the transport support 90 and the transverse reinforcing plate 311 can also be tightly fitted. For example, an annular elastic element can be provided on the transverse reinforcing plate 311. The transport support 90 is inserted into the annular elastic element and the annular elastic element is pressed between the transport support 90 and the transverse reinforcing plate 311, so that the transport support 90 and the transverse reinforcing plate 311 are tightly fitted and fixedly connected.
[0444] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 64, there are two or more transport supports 90, each transport support 90 being located below the central axis of the tubular portion 20; or, in other embodiments, there are two or more transport supports 90, each transport support 90 being located above the central axis of the tubular portion 20; or, in other embodiments, there are two or more transport supports 90, some transport supports 90 being located below the central axis of the tubular portion 20, and some transport supports 90 being located above the central axis of the tubular portion 20.
[0445] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG65, the housing frame 30 further includes a partial reinforcing plate 32, which is disposed on the inner side of the rear back plate 34, and the transport support 90 passes through the corresponding partial reinforcing plate 32.
[0446] In some examples, the local reinforcement plate 32 is fitted to the back panel 34, that is, the shape of the local reinforcement plate 32 matches the shape of the corresponding area of the transverse reinforcement plate 311.
[0447] In some embodiments, the thickness of the back panel 34 is not greater than 1.2 mm, and the thickness of the local reinforcing plate 32 is not less than 0.8 mm.
[0448] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG66, a first ridge 343 for improving the strength of the back panel 34 is formed on the back panel 34, and the first ridge 343 is close to the connection position between the transport support 90 and the back panel 34.
[0449] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the strength of the position where the transport support member 90 is connected to the rear back plate 34 is improved by providing a first protrusion 343 on the plate portion on the rear back plate 34.
[0450] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG67, the cleaning device 100 further includes a first protective member 110, which is sleeved on the transport support member 90 and passes through the rear panel 34 and is located between the transport support member 90 and the rear panel 34.
[0451] Please refer to Figure 67. The first protective member 110 includes a rear section 1101 and a front section 1102. The rear section 1101 is disposed at one end of the front section 1102 and the two are connected. The outer diameter of the rear section 1101 is larger than the outer diameter of the front section 1102. The front section 1102 is inserted into the first opening 344 of the back panel 34. The rear section 1101 can be pressed between the back panel 34 and the end of the transport support member 90.
[0452] In some examples, a gasket is pressed between the rear section 1101 of the first protective member and the end of the transport support 90.
[0453] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG66, the cleaning device 100 further includes one or more axial limiting members 120, which are detachably connected to the rear back plate 34 and the cylindrical part 20.
[0454] When the cleaning equipment 100 needs to be transported, the axial limiting member 120 is passed through the back panel 34 and connected to the tubular part 20. Since one end of the axial limiting member 120 is fixed to the tubular part 20, the other end of the axial limiting member 120 presses against the outer side of the back panel 34, thereby limiting the movement of the tubular part 20 along the axial direction. When the cleaning equipment 100 does not need to be transported, the axial limiting member 120 can be removed from the box frame 30.
[0455] In some embodiments, the axial limiting member 120 is threadedly connected to the cylindrical part 20, that is, the axial limiting member 120 is a bolt, so as to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the axial limiting member 120 and the cylindrical part 20.
[0456] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG66, a second protrusion 345 is formed on the back panel 34, and the second protrusion 345 is close to the connection position between the axial limiting member 120 and the back panel 34.
[0457] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a second protective member, which is sleeved on the axial limiting member 120. The structure of the second protective member is the same as that of the first protective member 110, and will not be described in detail here.
[0458] In some embodiments, there are two or more axial limiting members 120 to stably limit the orientation of the cylindrical portion 20 along the axial direction.
[0459] In some embodiments, the axial limiting member 120 is disposed above the central axis of the cylindrical portion 20; or, in other embodiments, the axial limiting member 120 is disposed below the central axis of the cylindrical portion 20; or, in other embodiments, there are two or more axial limiting members 120, with some axial limiting members 120 disposed above the central axis of the cylindrical portion 20 and some axial limiting members 120 disposed below the central axis of the cylindrical portion 20.
[0460] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG66, there are two axial limiting members 120, which are disposed above the central axis of the cylindrical part 20 and can be symmetrically arranged. There are two transport support members 90, which are located below the central axis of the cylindrical part 20 and can be symmetrically arranged.
[0461] The following mainly describes how the clothing processing device can provide hot air and / or hot water to the base station device 10, that is, the base station device 10 can utilize some functional structures on the clothing processing device. Please refer to Figures 68 and 69. Figure 68 is a schematic diagram of the connection between the drying device 60 and the auxiliary air supply device 160 provided in some embodiments of this disclosure, and Figure 69 is a schematic diagram of the connection between the drying device 60 and the auxiliary air supply device 160 provided in some embodiments of this disclosure.
[0462] In some embodiments, referring to FIG59, the cleaning equipment further includes a drying device 60 for supplying hot air into the tubular section 20.
[0463] In some examples, see Figure 68. The drying device 60 includes a rotary dehumidifier 63 and a circulating fan 64. The rotary dehumidifier 63 cools and dehumidifies the humid air passing through it, and then heats and regenerates it to turn it back into dry hot air. When the drying device 60 dries the clothes in the drum section 20, the airflow direction is as follows: the circulating air is heated into dry hot air after passing through the adsorption zone of the rotary dehumidifier 63, and then enters the drum section 20 through the circulating fan 64 to remove the moisture from the clothes. The airflow discharged from the drum section 20 flows back to the rotary dehumidifier 63, and the cycle repeats continuously.
[0464] In some examples, the drying device 60 also includes a regeneration structure, which includes a regeneration heater, a condenser, and a regeneration fan. Driven by the regeneration fan, the airflow passes through the regeneration zone of the rotary dehumidifier 63. After the humid air in the regeneration zone is dehumidified by the condenser, it flows to the regeneration heater. The air that passes through the regeneration heater then flows to the regeneration zone of the rotary dehumidifier 63.
[0465] In some examples, see Figure 68, the cleaning equipment also includes an auxiliary heater 65 disposed on the circulating air duct. The auxiliary heater 65 is used to heat the airflow passing through it in order to input high-temperature dry air into the cartridge section 20.
[0466] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 68 and 69, the cleaning device 100 further includes an auxiliary air supply device 160, which is connected to the drying device 60 so that the drying device 60 can supply high-temperature and / or dry air to the receiving cavity 124 of the base station device 10 through the auxiliary drying device.
[0467] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 68 and 69. The auxiliary air supply device 160 includes a first air duct structure 1601. One end of the first air duct structure 1601 is connected to the drying device 60 and the other end is connected to the base station device 10. The drying device 60 can supply high-temperature and / or dry air to the receiving cavity 124 of the base station device 10 through the first air duct structure 1601.
[0468] The first air duct structure 1601 is connected to the drying device 60. When the drying device 60 is working, dry hot air can be sent to the base station device 10 through the first air duct structure 1601. The dry air sent to the accommodating cavity 124 of the base station device 10 can be discharged. Alternatively, the dry air sent to the accommodating cavity 124 can be arranged to flow back to the drying device 60 after passing through the accommodating cavity 124.
[0469] In some examples, see Figures 68 and 69, the first air duct structure 1601 is connected to the air duct of the drying device 60 via a first control valve 1602. By controlling the first control valve 1602, the drying device 60 can be controlled to send hot air to the cylindrical section 20 and / or the base station device 10.
[0470] When the dry, hot air supplied to the receiving cavity 124 is discharged outward, in some examples, see Figure 69, the auxiliary air supply device 160 also includes an external air inlet duct 1603, which is connected to the air inlet side of the circulating fan 64 via a second control valve body 1604. The first air duct structure 1601 is connected to the outlet side of the rotary dehumidifier 63 via a first control valve 1602. In the example where the drying device 60 includes an auxiliary heater 65, the first air duct structure 1601 is connected to the outlet side of the auxiliary heater 65 via a first control valve 1602. When it is necessary to send dry hot air to the receiving cavity 124 through the drying device 60, the first control valve 1602 and the second control valve body 1604 can be controlled so that the external air inlet duct 1603 is connected to the circulating fan 64 and the air outlet side of the rotary dehumidifier 63 is connected to the first air duct structure 1601. When the circulating fan 64 is driven, the external air flows through the external air inlet duct 1603 to the rotary dehumidifier 63, and after passing through the rotary dehumidifier 63 and the auxiliary heater 65, it flows to the receiving cavity 124 of the base station device 10 and is discharged outward after passing through the receiving cavity 124.
[0471] It should be noted that when it is necessary to dry the clothes in the drum section 20 of the cleaning equipment 100, the first control valve 1602 and the second control valve body 1604 cause the airflow to circulate between the drum section 20 and the rotary dehumidifier 63 when the circulating fan 64 is started.
[0472] When the dry air supplied to the receiving cavity 124 flows back to the drying device 60 after passing through the receiving cavity 124, in some examples, please refer to Figure 68, the auxiliary air supply device 160 also includes an internal circulation duct 1605. The air duct on the air inlet side of the circulating fan 64 is connected to one end of the internal circulation duct 1605 through a second control valve body 1604. The other end of the internal circulation duct 1605 is connected to the receiving cavity 124. The first air duct structure 1601 is connected to the pipe on the air outlet side of the rotary dehumidifier 63 through a first control valve 1602. In the example where the drying device 60 includes an auxiliary heater 65, the first air duct structure 1601 is connected to the air outlet side of the auxiliary heater 65 through a first control valve 1602. When it is necessary to supply dry hot air to the receiving cavity 124 through the drying device 60, the first control valve 1602 and the second control valve body 1604 can be controlled to connect the internal circulation duct 1605 to the circulating fan 64, and the air outlet side of the rotary dehumidifier 63 to the first air duct structure 1601. When the circulating fan 64 is driven, the air in the receiving cavity 124 flows to the circulating fan 64 through the internal circulation duct 1605, passes through the rotary dehumidifier 63 and the auxiliary heater 65, and then flows to the receiving cavity 124 of the base station device 10, circulating in a cycle. It should be noted that when it is necessary to dry the clothes in the drum section 20 of the cleaning equipment 100, the first control valve 1602 and the second control valve body 1604 cause the airflow to circulate between the drum section 20 and the rotary dehumidifier 63 when the circulating fan 64 is started. In addition, by controlling the first control valve 1602 and the second control valve body 1604, hot air can be supplied to both the drum section 20 and the base station device 10 simultaneously.
[0473] In some examples, see Figure 68, the auxiliary air supply device 160 may also include an auxiliary air supply fan 1606, and the auxiliary air supply device 160 is disposed on the first air duct structure 1601.
[0474] Please refer to Figure 68. Since the auxiliary air supply fan 1606 is installed on the first air duct structure 1601, in some examples, the air can be circulated between the cylinder section 20 and the base station device 10 by controlling the first control valve 1602 and the second control valve body 1604, so as to reuse the waste heat in the cylinder section 20.
[0475] In some embodiments, the drying device 60 can provide three air supply modes, namely: dry and noisy air supply mode, dry medium temperature air supply mode, and dry high temperature air supply mode.
[0476] Regarding the dry air delivery mode, the dehumidification disc of the rotary dehumidifier 63 is kept stationary, the regeneration structure is not activated, and the auxiliary heater 65 is not activated. When the circulating fan 64 is driven, the air is dehumidified in the adsorption zone of the rotary dehumidifier 63, and then flows to the receiving cavity 124 of the base station device 10 after passing through the auxiliary heater 65, thus providing dry air to the receiving cavity 124. The air temperature may include a first temperature. The dry air delivery mode allows for airflow within the receiving cavity 124. When the floor cleaning device is located in the receiving cavity 124, it facilitates ventilation of the mop assembly of the floor cleaning device, thereby improving the lifespan of the mop assembly.
[0477] It should be noted that a fresh air supply structure can be provided on the cleaning equipment 100 to introduce ambient air into the receiving cavity 124; in one example, the fresh air supply structure can be integrated on the base station device 10; in another example, some components of the fresh air supply structure are provided on the clothing processing device.
[0478] Regarding the drying medium-temperature air supply mode, this involves controlling the rotation of the dehumidification disc of the rotary dehumidifier 63, controlling the operation of the regeneration structure, and controlling the auxiliary heater 65 to remain inactive. When the circulating fan 64 is driven, air passing through the adsorption zone of the rotary dehumidifier 63 not only dehumidifies but also carries away the heat generated by the regeneration structure, forming a drying medium-temperature airflow. This medium-temperature airflow may include a second temperature, which is higher than the first temperature. The drying medium-temperature air supply mode can improve the efficiency of the cloth drying assembly.
[0479] Regarding the dry high-temperature air supply mode, this involves controlling the rotation of the dehumidification disc of the rotary dehumidifier 63, controlling the operation of the regeneration structure, and controlling the operation of the auxiliary heater 65. When the circulating fan 64 is driven, the air passing through the adsorption zone of the rotary dehumidifier 63 not only dehumidifies but also carries away the heat generated by the regeneration structure. Upon passing through the auxiliary heater 65, the air flowing into the receiving cavity 124 is further heated, forming a dry high-temperature airflow. This high-temperature airflow may include a third temperature, which is higher than the second temperature. Through the dry high-temperature air supply mode, the cleaning equipment's cloth assembly can be sterilized at high temperatures.
[0480] It should be noted that in one embodiment described above, the base station device 10 includes a drying component 133. This can be understood as referring to the drying component 133 as the first drying module, and the drying device 60 and the first air duct structure 1601 as the second drying module. High-temperature hot air can be provided to the receiving cavity 124 through the first drying module. Of course, high-temperature hot air can also be provided to the receiving cavity 124 through the second drying module; or, the first drying module and the second drying module can be used simultaneously to provide high-temperature hot air to the receiving cavity 124.
[0481] It should be noted that the cleaning equipment 100 may be configured to include a first drying module and a second drying module simultaneously, or the cleaning equipment 100 may be configured to include only the first drying module, or the cleaning equipment 100 may be configured to include only the second drying module.
